Description
Mahi-Mahi is a beautiful fish with a rainbow of dazzling iridescent colors which fade after dying. The back is electric green and blue with gold or silver sides and bellies. The sides have a speckling of spots.
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.
