mahi mahi

Hawaiian menu fish

Mahi mahi is a large, brightly colored fish found in warm ocean waters, popular as food for its firm, mild-flavored flesh.

The name comes from Hawaiian, where it means "strong strong." Also called dolphinfish—though unrelated to dolphins, which are mammals.

We ordered the grilled mahi mahi with mango salsa.
