Mahi mahi is a lean, firm-fleshed saltwater fish with moderately large flakes and pearly, translucent raw flesh. Its flavor is mild and slightly sweet, and the flesh holds together well for high-heat methods like grilling, searing, and broiling. Common retail forms include skin-on or skinless fillets and steaks.

It inhabits tropical and subtropical oceans worldwide and features in Hawaiian, Caribbean, and Latin American cuisines. Modern fisheries supply it year-round via international fleets, with much catch taken by hook-and-line and managed under regional quotas.
