As you might know, Amy and I have grown up in a fishing family. Not only do we enjoy the sport of fishing, we also enjoy eating our catch! Do you know what this beautiful fish is?
This grilled Honey Ginger Mahi Mahi turned out so delicious! The marinade is sweet and sour... and a little spicy. Grilling is a great, easy way to prepare your mahi mahi (especially during the warm summer months) and the marinade only takes minutes to throw together.
Now to go catch some more dorado (mahi mahi) so we can try out some more recipes....
