Mahi-Mahi, such a strange name for a fish wouldn’t you say?
But, it is not the only name it goes by. Some call the Mahi-Mahi “Dolphin”, not because it looks like a dolphin, but by it’s early scientific classification in the genus dolfyn. Another name would be just “Mahi” which is Hawaiian and means strong. In parts of the Pacific Ocean it is also called the “Dorado” which is Spanish for gold. And in Malta it has been referred to as the “Lampuka.”

A mere six ounces provides 31.5 grams of protein and just 1.2 grams of fat. That makes it very lean, but still chock full of essential amino acids and enzymes.
