Mahi-Mahi Fish
The Mahi fish is the Hawaiian name for dolphinfish. The Hawaiian nickname Mahi-Mahi came to prevent consumers confusing it with the marine mammal (Dolphin). Most people tend to believe that all Mahi-Mahi fish come only from Hawaii, but they are found in the tropical and sub tropical waters around the world. The brilliant colors of the fish make them one of the most beautiful in the ocean.

Cooking Tips
Mahi-Mahi is a lean fairly firmed meat with a sweet and mild to moderate flavor, very similar to swordfish. The dark portions you may find on a fillet can be trimmed away to produce a much milder flavor. Raw Mahi fillets will be pinkish to a grayish white; the cooked meat will be off-white with large, moist flakes.

Mahi-Mahi is great for grilling and remains moist if it is not overcooked. You can grill the Mahi with the skin on or off. It also adapts well to many seasonings and can even be blackened.
