Lots of folks eat mullet. Since they banned gill nets years ago, the cast netters can't catch enough to put a dent in the population, and they've really thrived. It also helped bring back snook, trout, reds, and several other fish that were being killed in the gill nets.
Of course, we don't hold a Mullet Festival every year like they do in Niceville, but they do get some attention. You can buy smoked mullet in some of the grocery stores, and you'll see roadside stands selling it at certain times of the year.
