Is Mahi Mahi a dolphin?
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.
