Mahi Mahi is the Hawaiian word for “strong strong”. It’s a beautiful dolphin fish but referred to by its Hawaiian name so as not to confuse North Americans into thinking they are eating a dolphin. Nope, Flipper is safe. The taste of mahi mahi is flavorful and mild and it’s a very easy fish to cook and it’s perfect for an easy weeknight dinner. Green beans and grape tomatoes are a quick and easy vegetable side dish.
