Mahi-Mahi is also known as dolphin fish or dorado. It is a white fish that is mild in flavor and can be grilled, baked, broiled, poached, steamed, baked or fried.
When purchasing Mahi-Mahi, look for firm fillets, with red bloodlines. The meat ranges in color from white to dark brown. If you prefer fish that doesn't taste "fishy," choose fillets that are pink to light beige. The darker the meat color, the stronger the taste.
Mahi-Mahi tastes best when purchased fresh. It should be stored in the refrigerator at 32-38 degrees Fahrenheit and used within two days. Mahi-Mahi can be frozen for up to four months. When freezing Mahi-Mahi, double wrap fillets and store at 0 degrees Fahrenheit. To thaw Mahi-Mahi fillets, place in refrigerator or run cold water over the fillets.
Here is one of my favorite recipes using this delicious fish. Enjoy!
