Buying Tips

Quality mahi mahi is easy to recognize. Fresh mahi mahi never smells fishy, and its flesh will give slightly when you press it with a finger, then spring back into shape. When choosing mahi mahi steaks or fillets, whether they’re fresh or previously frozen, look for moist, translucent (never dried out) flesh.
