Belly

Mahi-mahi belly is the thinner lower fillet edge—slightly richer than the loin but still mild compared with oily fish. It suits tacos, cubes for skewers, and moist-heat dishes where perfect rectangular steaks are less important. Trim any dark bloodline for cleaner flavour. Cook quickly on high heat or stew gently. Good value after loins are portioned.
