What is MAHI MAHI fish?
This is a species of fish, which is found in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. They have many different types.
The average weight of a mature Mahi-Mahi can range anywhere from 3 to 20 pounds with males being larger than females.
The mahi-mahi has an elongated body that is dark blue on top and silvery-white below. The fins are usually yellowish with three stripes on them- one at the base and two at the tips.
It has a long dorsal fin that starts at its head and goes all down its back to its tail fin. It has a wide mouth that extends from ear to ear with little teeth.
What kind of marinade should use for fish recipe?
Mostly I preferred marinade fish with sumac spices and citrus juice for the grilled mahi-mahi fish recipe. Fresh mahi-mahi is that cooks up crispy on the outside and moist on the inside.
One of the best ways to prepare this fish is by marinating it before cooking. The most popular type of marinade for this type of fish is soy sauce, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, green onions, honey, and rice wine vinegar.
