Too bad the quality of those fish was ruined by not properly gutting

Don't know if it makes a difference or not but they had been caught
that afternoon and packed in ice until minutes before I took the
picture. They went immediately from there to be cleaned. Right or
wrong, that seemed to be typical local procedure. We had fresh Mahi
Mahi from the dock one night that I cleaned myself and it was quite
tasty.

Try this, a good bit of extra work, I would skip the revive before
bleeding, but there are some good ideas here

They are best if they are bled out while alive, and gutted immediately
after.
