Does a mahi mahi fish have scales?

Answer 1

That's a good question. Not all fish have scales. Swordfish, catfish, cod, mackerel, whiting, sturgeons, sharks and eels are just a few examples of fish without scales.

The mahi-mahi fish does have scales, and is a clean fish, suitable for human consumption, according to The Bible. Leviticus 11:9 states: "Of all the creatures living in the water of the seas and the streams, you may eat any that have fins and scales".

Mahi-mahi meets the criteria of having both fins and scales.

Answer 2

Yes, they do have scales but are very small. Similar to mackerels. If you do catch a Mahi-Mahi/Dorado/Dolphin fish and you are going to release it, make sure your hands are wet with ocean water and try not to handle the fish. If you need to take a photo, try to hold the fish by the head and tail and avoid handling the body of the fish.

Scales help keep smaller organisms from infecting any fish, so with fish that have small scales, try not to scrape any off.
