I know–I do a lot of fish on the blog. I love seafood (I’d probably be able to be a vegetarian were it not for seafood).
Mahi mahi (“strong strong” in Hawaiian) is a large, bull-headed, deep-sea fish with gorgeous gold and teal coloring. It’s one of those things that I buy only once in a while and every time I eat it, I think, “Why don’t you buy this more often?” There are lots of fishes I love for lots of different reasons, but mahi mahi is one of my favorites, especially among the meatier fish. It also has a better chance of appeasing those who are wary of fish than say, swordfish or even salmon. Swordfish has a steak-like quality without the steak and salmon has a kind of salty oiliness–am I the only one who thinks mahi mahi has a touch of sweetness? Compared to many other large fish (tuna also comes to mind), mahi mahi is quite mild, gentle…friendly. And like most fish, it’s a snap to cook and perfect for exotifying a weeknight.
