Catch of the Day...but the second one was even better





Mahi Mahi....long waited for...(for over forty years after a class project Ted did in grade four). This guy measures from nose to tip of tail 32"....and we will feast for four meals. Mahi Mahi are cleaned differently from any fish we have filleted before. You cut along the head up to the top fin and down the bottom to peel the skin off. Once skinned you then cut the fillet as usual. Turn the fish over and repeat for the second fillet.

While the second (bigger of the two) 52" and approximately 50 pounds was a female with the rounded forehead. Good eating!!!

Marinaded with lemon, thyme and cayenne spices.... wrapped in tin foil and placed on the BBQ....can't wait!!! Mahi Mahi was also nice in a Thai sauce.
