(what the hell is a "Dorado?"

All the same thing

what the hell is mahi-mahi?

Sounds sissyfied . . .

in the South Pacific. Evolved in the 1960's into the Mashed Potato, early rock & roll. least so I've heard 😉

On the east coast, most people call them "dolphin".

West coasters call them "Dorado".

Hawaiians call them "Mahi Mahi".

As they became more popular nationwide as table fare, most people came to know them as "Mahi Mahi"..........certainly more glamorous than "dolphin"........and I suppose the wait staff would get tired of explaining, "NO....you are not eating a mammal!!!".

The last few places I fished were in Florida and Long Island..........everyone there called them "Mahi".....so I guess this is becoming the universal term; although I still call them "dolphin".

Call it Dolfin . . .

I suspect the sissified term of Mahi-Mahi was for coined by the Grocery Stores, Fish Stands and Resturaunts for Suzy Home-Maker . . .

Heaven Forbid She Thinks She's Eating Flipper . . .

But, then again, some people still call flight attendants, Stewardesses . . .

?

I wonder if porpus , or dolfin is good eating? I'd try it if given the chance.

Still have a fillet in the freezer. Maybe tomorrow's lunch....
