You will enjoy the sweet, garlic flavor of this marinade. It is important to use fresh ginger root in this recipe.
Enjoy! Debbie

Thanks for this - maybe I can sneak it past my husband & he'll actually enjoy it - lol!!

Way back in the 1980's when we honeymooned on a then-very-rural St. Lucia, every single restaurant served "dolphin" (aka Mahi-Mahi) 24/7, & my husband quickly grew to dislike it - lol!! So these days I only seem to be able to get it past him when our anniversary rolls around - lol!!

He's never been a dark-flesh fish fan, but I just might be able to sneak this recipe past him. Will let you know if I succeed.

This looks great and I love mahi mahi - thanks!

BreezyCooking, I think your husband will like this. My husband is not a fish eater and he really liked it. He even took a piece in his lunch the next day.

You are welcome Toots. Enjoy! Debbie

Mahi-Mahi is a white-flesh fish, isn't it?

 

[BreezyCooking]

No, it's not. Not until it's cooked, that is.

Same goes for Bluefish, Mackerel, Striped Bass (aka Rockfish), etc. Flesh is blue/dark until cooked; thus they're considered dark-flesh fish.

I've just so often seen recipes calling for mahi-mahi 'or other firm, white fish' (and have bought and cooked fish labeled mahi-mahi that was pink or grayish-white).

 

[BreezyCooking]

Mahi-Mahi definitely isn't "technically" a "firm white fish". Like Bluefish, Mackerel, Striped Bass, etc., its raw flesh is darkish until cooked, when it turns to white.

If you're looking for a "firm white fish" then you should be looking for cod, halibut, turbot, tilapia, catfish, thick-cut flounder. . . .

I'm not looking for a firm white fish - just saying I thought I already had one in Mahi-Mahi. Doesn't matter to me what it's called - I like the fish that I buy that is called that, and the OP recipe for this looks great. Thanks.

I'm trying out this recipe tonight and thought I'd include a post explaining why I think Mahi Mahi is white-fleshed fish...
