Mahi-mahi (dorado or dolphin fish)
The most plentiful game fish in
the ocean, Mahi-mahi means strong strong in Hawaiian. The distinctions
between the males and females are obvious in the shape of the
head, and they put on a spectacular aerial show when hooked. The
Mahi-mahi displays incredibly vivid colors ranging from golden
to green to aqua to silvery blue. They are particularly
structure oriented, and if you happen to run across an old cargo
net or log that has been in the water for a long time, there may
be hundreds of these tasty fighters swimming around it. The
Mahi-mahi is caught year round in Hawaiian waters, and range in
size from 12-70 pounds.



CULINARY DESCRIPTION
Mahi-mahi is an exceptionally versatile fish, having firm, white
meat and a delicate flavor. Broiled, poached, baked, sautéed,
grilled, or pan-fried, mahi-mahi delivers a truly sensational taste.
The National Fisheries Institute suggests that you try mahi-mahi as
an appetizer. Cut the fish into squares, marinate them in lime
juice, and broil them with garlic butter. As a main course, baked
mahi-mahi served with a sweet-and-sour sauce is sure to win rave
reviews from family and friends. Mahi-mahi is one of those fish that
is wonderful just about any way you can think to prepare it -- from
the simple to the complex, minimal ingredients to multiple
ingredients, subtle to strong flavors. We love to use seafood in
traditional meat and poultry dishes, and we know seafood tacos are
not new, but made with mahi-mahi, they're great!
