Things like that irk me


Mahi Mahi - Coryphaena Hippurus

Mahi Mahi (also named dolphin fish) can be found in the
tropical and subtropical waters throughout the world.
The fish ranges in weight from 2 to 50 lbs. The Mahi Mahi
is mainly caught as by-catch of tuna and swordfish.
The firm-textured, dark meat of the Mahi Mahi turns white
and opaque when cooked. It is a moderately fatty fish
with a strong, pleasant flavour. The skin is tough and
usually removed before cooking...

This expert knows all about the dolphin fish/mammal controversy.
South Florida Dolphin - One More Time!
by Ron Brooks

Dateline: 6/13/99

Leave it to me to create a controversy in areas I never meant to wander. Many of you wrote me concerning dolphin fishing, several of you very upset that we would fish for and eat this "wonderful mammal". So before I go into our dolphin excursion this past week, let me clear the air.

The dolphin I refer to are FISH, not mammals. They are known as Dorado on the west coast of the U.S. and Mahi Mahi in the Pacific. You have probably seen Mahi Mahi on seafood menus in popular restaurants everywhere. These are NOT the mammals known as dolphin.

I am also a dolphin (mammal) lover and would do nothing to harm them. To show you the difference, take a look at the following pictures. The first one on is the dolphin fish I catch (Mahi Mahi). (see article for pics)
