(Coryphaena hippurus)
Mahimahi is commonly known as dolphin (the fish, not the mammal), dolphinfish, or dorado. When a mahimahi takes the hook, its colors are brilliant blue and silver dappled with yellow. Large aggregations of mahimahi are common around flotsam drifting at sea and off fish aggregation buoys.
Mahimahi is thin-skinned with firm, light pink flesh. It has a delicate flavor that is almost sweet. There is less strong-tasting "blood meat" in mahimahi than in tuna and billfish.
Mahimahi is ideal for a variety of preparations. However, care should be taken not to overcook mahimahi. It should be cooked until it flakes and no longer.
One of the most beautiful fish in the sea, mahi are found throughout the warm waters of Hawaii & Tahiti, where they are voracious feeders, consuming squid, mackerel, shrimp, crab and a variety of small fish.
No fish is better known in the up-scale restaurant market than Hawaii's fresh mahimahi, which has become synonymous with tourism. Among visitors, mahimahi has assumed the position of the State's best known fish.
