Fish

Whole

Whole mahi-mahi is the intact fish—striking blue-green and gold when fresh-caught, fading after death—with a blunt head and long dorsal fin. Market fish are often headed and gutted; whole display fish need ice and quick handling. Size ranges from small plate fish to large fillet animals. Bake or grill whole smaller fish; break large ones into loins. Bright skin colour at capture is a freshness story—dull, soft fish are past peak.
