But Really, What is Mahi Mahi?

Ever wondered what mahi mahi actually is? You’re probably not alone. Most people simply know it’s a fish and that it’s delicious — fair enough because that’s all you really need to know, technically. But if you’re a little more curious, you’re in the right place.

Mahi mahi, sometimes called dolphinfish or dorado, is a saltwater fish found in tropical and subtropical waters worldwide. With its distinctive iridescent blue-green and gold coloring, mahi mahi looks pretty amazing swimming in the water, but it’s much more prized for its firm texture and mild, sweet flavor. It’s also incredibly versatile, with a firm flesh that holds up well to grilling, baking, broiling, or pan-searing, making it suitable for a variety of cooking methods.

As you’ve seen with this recipe, mahi mahi pairs well with a range of flavors and ingredients, including citrus fruits like lemon and lime, tropical fruits like pineapple and mango, fresh herbs like cilantro and basil, and spicy seasonings like blackening spice or chili powder. It’s common to see it served in tacos and salads or as a main course accompanied by sides like rice or grilled vegetables.
