mahi typically are at their flashiest colors while in the water; once taken out, they begin to turn a dull grey. males (or "bulls"; the ones with greater perpendicularity to their foreheads) usu. have a greater range of color than do females of the species, and they can be anything from a yellowish-golden (which is where their spanish name, "dorado," comes from) to bright green to (very rarely) blue, with occasional black speckles near their dorsal fin. they are a pelagic fish that reaches maturity very quickly, which is why a lot of states in the gulf of mexico have no upper-limit on the amount of mahi you can catch on one day.

their flesh is amazingly sweet, and is best when lightly cooked, if at all.

Nick, I didn't think you were old enough to know.

One of my favorite strips. Don't remember if it was the News or the Mirror, tho'.

Back to mahi-mahi. I find they degrade quickly. Need a really good source. That nice red bloodline turns brown awfully fast.
