The dolphin fish that swims around the Hawaiian Islands is where mahi mahi comes from. Mahi mahi is an Hawaiian word and we get the name of this tasty fish from Hawaii. Now the dolphin fish is quite different from the dolphins you may be thinking about. The dolphin fish is not related to the dolphin mammal and the dolphin fish is really a fish. I’m sure you can educate your friends on this the next time your in the restaurant ordering mahi mahi. Let them know they are eating dolphin and see what type of reaction you get from them. I don’t think any of us would want to eat the beautiful bottle nose dolphins. Now the dolphin fish is another story and this is one of the best eating fish you can catch out of the oceans today. Give mahi mahi a try and let me know what you think. I usually order a couple of slices of lemon with my mahi mahi and squeezing lemon juice over freshly grilled mahi mahi is a heavenly taste!
