$19.95
Mahi Mahi is an extremely versatile fish with a firm texture that remains tender and extremely flaky when cooked. It performs well on the grill and is often pan-seared, sautéed, baked, broiled, and fried. It is a great source of lean protein and extremely heart-healthy because it is very low in fat and high in omega-3 fatty acids.

Remember in the 1980’s when Mahimahi was called Dolphinfish. It caused such an uproar with the public thinking restaurants were serving dolphin! To avoid confusion (and hysteria!), the fish now is marketed as Mahimahi, and to clarify, it is not related to a dolphin in any way.
Mahi-mahi has lean flesh with a mild, sweet flavor profile, moderately firm texture and large, moist flakes. The skin is thick and should therefore be removed before cooking. Fresh Mahi Mahi has translucent pinkish flesh and a bright red bloodline. If the bloodline is brownish or dull then the fish is old.
