Characteristics
Chefs love mahi mahi’s firm texture and mild flavor, along with its great name recognition by customers. With a flavor similar to swordfish, mahi mahi is fairly firm with large, moist flakes when cooked. This is a great choice for a grill fish. Although its skin is beautiful in the water, it’s generally removed before cooking…
For Your Menu
Since mahi mahi comes to us from tropical waters, it’s a natural to pair this fish with fresh fruit salsas or sauces – or try it with coconut or macadamia nuts!
For Your Waitstaff
Moist, delicious, fresh and carefully harvested – your guests will love mahi mahi! Its mild flavor pairs perfectly with whatever flavor profile your chef chooses.
For Your Retail Display
Mahi mahi has a beautiful pink colored flesh – looks great displayed between white fleshed fish for a pop of color. Recommend your customers try Mahi Mahi on the grill – tastes great served with a topping of salsa (we love mango salsa with Mahi Mahi).
