There is nothing fresher than serving up fish caught the same day right off your boat, and nothing more satisfying than harvesting your own delicious dinner.

Now let’s talk about specifics! Mahi has become spectacularly famous worldwide as a popular sportfish as well as a very tasty treat. Mahi are aggressive eaters that jump and shine bright with blue and green and flecks of gold, making them one of the most fun fish to catch; and guess what. They can be found right here in weed lines right off our Central Florida coast!

The flaky white meat of Mahi offers a delicate texture and taste that when paired with corn on the cob and a tomato-cucumber salad (or not) is a meal not soon forgotten. Perfect for the grill or skillet, Mahi provides a moderate fat content that is just enough to remain moist while cooking and a non-issue for the waistline conscious. 

Speaking of a healthy, fabulous meal…Here’s a gluten- and sugar-free, low carb recipe that is sure to please a crowd with only about 30 minutes of prep time (found on livingchirpy.com):
