Description
Mahi-mahi (Coryphaena hippurus) is a large open-water ocean fish. It is prized in the world of sport fishing because it is tasty and challenging to catch. The flesh has a less "fishy" flavor than most ocean fish, although there is a risk of ciguatera poisoning. Fishers often search for floating debris such as wood, plastic, and fishing buoys because mahi-mahi feed on the creatures found among the flotsam.
