Mahi-mahi for deep-sea fishing

July 7th 2012

Originally published in the Journal de Montréal on July 7, 2012.

Mahi-mahi – also known as dorado, or dolphinfish – is a predatory fish that lives in tropical and subtropical waters of all the oceans. The average adult mahi-mahi is 1.5 meters long and weighs 20kg, but it can reach up to 2 meters and 40kg.
