I might go fishing for Mahi-mahi later this week if the weather clears up
here in Kona. Heavy rains and huge winds yesterday.

This is the first time I've ever seen fresh mahi-mahi at Costco. Do you have any tricks for
preparing it?

We don’t have that luxury here. We do have farm raised salmon though.

I always thought all that spice was just to brighten up mediocre fish.
Fresh Mahi seems just fine to me seared on the grill. It is crunchy on
the outside and the juice squirts out when you cut into it. Just don't
overcook it.
I save that cajun stuff for frozen Cod or EEEK, that septic tank grown
Tilapia. Actually we can catch Tilapia out of the pond right here in
the neighborhood. They got loose here in Florida and they are turning
up everywhere.

Yes, even the drainage ditches along 41.

I agree with you on preparing Mahi, no heavy seasoning required.

My neighbor pulled a "too small" Bass out of the catch basin along
Broadway, the main drag from 41 to my road. He threw it back into our
pond. If the gators didn't get it, we may have a lot of bass in there.
To my knowledge he is really the only guy who fished there. He used to
drop a line in every little puddle he saw and caught all sorts of
stuff.
The wild caught tilapia I have had, weren't horrible.

It is pretty good if you sear it over high heat on the grille. That is
how I usually get it in restaurants here. I give it a light dusting of
Adobo, basically garlic, salt and pepper. Don't kill it with spice and
don't overcook it.

I remember the first time I was fishing blue water off of Hattaras the
guy had the boat up on top and he put a few lines out with "Chinese
Feathers" on them, a big honking metal plug.
I asked if he was just doing that so we would think we were fishing
while we were running out to the good spot. He just laughed and a
minute later a Mahi hit a plug. We were doing about 25-30.
Mahi are the same way, fast fish.
The little schoolies are weird tho. If you have one hooked in the
water, they will all come around to see what he is eating and you can
fill the boat if you wanted to, as long as you keep one hooked in the
water.
Most responsible captains will say "That's enough" after you catch a
few each. They know preserving the resource is preserving their job.

Most of the bigger warm water fish are fast. I had a small, maybe 30#,
Bluefin tuna strip a reel of about 165 yards in 20 seconds. Was fishing
20# test for Yellowtail when we hid a small schooler Skipjack tuna. The
bluefin were underneath the skippies.

When I go on long range trips, we can not use plugs on Dorado, same fish.
Have to use bait, as they are so fast and energetic that if they throw the
plug, it may come flying back aboard.

Will give that a shot next time. But, the blackened method I used last night even got rave reviews

Will try it the easy way next week, if Costco still has it.

What, if anything, do you put on it. How do you fix it, baked, broiled,
grilled, fried, or what?

It is pretty good if you sear it over high heat on the grille. That is
how I usually get it in restaurants here. I give it a light dusting of
Adobo, basically garlic, salt and pepper. Don't kill it with spice and
don't overcook it.


A nice coating of unsweetened coconut flakes and Panko and quickly fried



In oil or butter? I used butter with the blackened seasoning.


We mostly cook with olive oil. But if you want a butter addition, use oil
with a dab of butter.

Over in Hawaii, we saw some of those swim past our tour catamaran. Those
are one fast fish!

I remember the first time I was fishing blue water off of Hattaras the
guy had the boat up on top and he put a few lines out with "Chinese
Feathers" on them, a big honking metal plug.
I asked if he was just doing that so we would think we were fishing
while we were running out to the good spot. He just laughed and a
minute later a Mahi hit a plug. We were doing about 25-30.
Mahi are the same way, fast fish.
The little schoolies are weird tho. If you have one hooked in the
water, they will all come around to see what he is eating and you can
fill the boat if you wanted to, as long as you keep one hooked in the
water.
Most responsible captains will say "That's enough" after you catch a
few each. They know preserving the resource is preserving their job.



When I go on long range trips, we can not use plugs on Dorado, same fish.
Have to use bait, as they are so fast and energetic that if they throw the
plug, it may come flying back aboard.

I've had very good luck with something called a pink and white rattle
jet. It was originally recommended to me by a guy who does a lot of
fishing on the east coast of FL and he was right. We troll it at our
cruising speed of about 8 1/2 knots.

Looks a lot like the trolling feathers we use, except for color. West
coast we use a lot of purple and Mexican Flag.

"This product can expose you to chemicals including DINP, Lead, and
Nickel, which is known to the
State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm."

Hope your fish don't get sick!

When trolling do you use a mono or braided line?


===

I've used both, don't see much difference. I've been told that a mono
leader is important for Mahi.


The warning is because of California law. A friend manufactures a plastic
bait rotator for salmon fishing. Comes with toothpicks to hold the bait in
place with instructions on which brass brad to buy if you want a metal
holder. Avoids having to have the warning placed. Prop 65 was a public
placed proposition that was passed.

I always thought all that spice was just to brighten up mediocre fish.
Fresh Mahi seems just fine to me seared on the grill. It is crunchy on
the outside and the juice squirts out when you cut into it. Just don't
overcook it.
I save that cajun stuff for frozen Cod or EEEK, that septic tank grown
Tilapia. Actually we can catch Tilapia out of the pond right here in
