Yes and no. A mahi-mahi is a dolphinfish. On the east coast they are called 'dolphin' or 'rakingo' on the west coast they are called 'dorado'. The confusion arises from calling porpoises, which are mammals not fish, by the name 'dolphin' - such as the bottle-nosed dolphin. If you see 'dolphin' on a menu, then it is certainly mahi-mahi or 'dolphin' the fish. The mammals are highly protected.

Even though MahiMahi are native to both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, I have yet seen them as a choice in any Japanese restaurants. A certified Sushi Chef (in Japan, a sushi chef must be certified) would have to deem them edible as raw fish before they can become used 'officially' as Sushi or Sashimi.

Do you eat dolphin?
Me, no. I do not believe in eating dolphins. -------------------------------------------------------- Me...yes indeed! If by dolphin you really mean porpoise, then the answer is obviously, No. Porpoises are mammals and the commercial bycatch must be returned to the sea. "Dolphins" on the other hand are great game fish and superb table fare. If you've ever ordered "Mahi-Mahi" in a restaurant then you too have eaten dolphin. "Mahi-Mahi" is the Hawaiian word for "dolphin", the name that American restaurants now prefer to use instead of 'Dolphin', to avoid confusion with the mammal. Roger Felber
