Loin

Mahi-mahi loin is the thick upper fillet band—the premium, even section for steaks and medallions. Texture is meaty for a mild fish, holding together on skewers and the grill better than soft white fish. Colour stays pale when raw and turns bright white when just done. Cut into even steaks or roast as a short joint. Brush with oil; the fish is leaner than oily pelagics and benefits from basting.
