Here is a list of the numbers of fish that Tyler caught in nine outings last summer: \[2,0,1,3,0,3,3,1,2.\] Which statement about the mean, median, and mode is true?

$\text{(A) median} < \text{mean} < \text{mode} \qquad \text{(B) mean} < \text{mode} < \text{median} \\ \\ \text{(C) mean} < \text{median} < \text{mode} \qquad \text{(D) median} < \text{mode} < \text{mean} \\ \\ \text{(E) mode} < \text{median} < \text{mean}$
