Grilled Mahi Mahi with Mango Mint Salsa
by Kevin Donovan
Mahi Mahi is a wonderful fish to grill because its moderately firm texture allows it to stay together over the fire and not fall apart easily on the grill. It also goes by the names Dorado or Dolphinfish, but do not confuse it with the mammal. Mahi Mahi can be found in the warmer waters of the Atlantic Ocean, such as Florida and the Bahamas as well as along the Pacific Coast all the way down to South America and in Hawaiian waters.
