How is mahi mahi supposed to be cooked?

It’s a great, less expensive alternative to halibut, and can be grilled, broiled, or even fried. But one of our favorite ways to prepare it is to simply pan-sear it, which lets the flavors and flaky texture shine. Searing it in a pan also lets you make a buttery, lemon-y sauce to drizzle all over the fish.

How do I know when mahi mahi is done?

Mahi Mahi is fully cooked once it reaches 137 degrees farenheit. It will flake easily at this temperature- we recommend a meat thermometer to ensure it isn’t overcooked (or undercooked for that matter!). We like this healthy Mahi Mahi served with Quinoa Pilaf or Greek Rice.

Do you cook mahi mahi with the skin on?

Absolutely, you should leave the skin on when you cook Mahi Mahi fish or just about any fish, really. The skin helps the fish naturally release from the gill without tearing the meat of the fish. Plus, the skin will get super crunchy and taste great!

Can I eat raw mahi mahi?

Like, “is it safe?” If it’s caught specifically for raw consumption, then yes. Fish that is caught for sashimi is gutted basically as soon as it is caught to prevent any parasites in fish from migrating from the guts to the flesh of the fish (which is what they’ll do once the life goes out of the fish).

Do you have to fully cook mahi mahi?

Mahi mahi is a great all-around fish for just about any cooking method you want to use. Poach it, steam it, fry it, bake it, grill it—it’s all good. Just be careful not to overcook it. Here’s a recipe I particularly like for broiled mahi mahi.

Do you eat the skin of mahi-mahi?

Mahi mahi is Hawaiian for “strong strong,” a name that pays homage to the fact that the fish is a strong swimmer. Its firm flesh and brilliant, edible skin is also strong enough to stand up to grilled preparations, resulting in rich and smoky fish dishes.

Why is my mahi-mahi chewy?

Fish that seems tough when you bite into it is probably overcooked. As it moves from done to “overdone,” the flesh continues to firm then shrinks, pushing out moisture, which evaporates and leaves the fish dry and chewy. Fresh fish needs little embellishment, for its flavor is as fragile as its flesh.
