Fish Facts: Mahi Mahi
To paraphrase David Letterman, mahi mahi could be
considered "The fish so nice they named it twice!".
-Often called dolphinfish, the Hawaiians gave it the name
mahi mahi to avoid any confusion with the unrelated
dolphin, which is a marine mammal. It is also referred to
in some recipes as Dorado.
-Mahi mahi is found in the warm waters of the tropics. It
is prized for its rich, full flavor. The firm texture makes
it easy to cut into steaks or fillets.
-Grilling or broiling are the best ways to prepare this
fish. It can also be enjoyed baked, steamed, or even in
chowders. The full flavor stands up well to strong spices
like garlic and spicy peppers.
