Mahi Mahi

What does mahi mahi taste like?

Mild and slightly sweet, with firm flesh and large flakes. It's a good fish for people who are new to seafood.

Is mahi mahi a dolphin?

No. Mahi mahi is a fish, also called dolphinfish. It has no relation to the marine mammal.

How should I cook it?

Grill, blacken or pan-sear it. It's lean, so avoid overcooking.

How should I store it, and how long will it stay fresh?

Refrigerate it as soon as it arrives and cook it within 48 hours of delivery, or freeze it right away. See our Care & Prep guide for storage and thawing tips.

How do I know when it's done?

Cook until the flesh turns opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The USDA recommends an internal temperature of 145°F.

Can I get it portioned or vacuum sealed?

Where available, you can choose portion sizes and vacuum sealing before you add it to your box. Vacuum sealing is a flat $25 per order, and whole fish aren't eligible.

When will my order ship, and when will it arrive?

You choose your delivery date at checkout, and we ship your order overnight the day before. Special order items are seasonal and limited, and we source them to order, so the earliest available delivery date is usually about 48 hours later than for our regular fresh seafood. If you're ordering ahead for a holiday or event, just pick your date as usual. Delivery is available Tuesday through Friday, so your order never sits in a carrier facility over the weekend. Available delivery dates may vary with our seasonal store hours.

Can I order this with other items? 

Yes, but we don't split shipments. Any order that includes a special order item ships complete once the specialty items reach our store. If you'd like your other items sooner, place them as a separate order.

How is it shipped?

Overnight only, by FedEx Priority Overnight or UPS Ground Overnight depending on your location, since fresh seafood has a strict 48-hour safety window once it leaves our Seattle facility. Continental U.S. orders ship by FedEx Priority Overnight for a $48 flat rate. WA, OR, and ID customers get discounted UPS Ground Overnight rates starting at $10. Full shipping rates by region ->

Do you ship to my address? 

We ship to residential and business addresses across all 48 continental states, plus Alaska and Hawaii at a flat rate. We're unable to ship to PO boxes, FPO, or APO addresses.

What if my order arrives damaged or spoiled?

If your order arrives spoiled or you received the wrong product, contact us within 14 days of delivery for a refund or reshipment. We're not able to accept returns once an order has shipped, so if there's an issue, reach out right away. Full refunds & returns policy ->
