DOLPHIN FISH

Corypheane Hippurus also known as Dolphin Fish, Dorado, or Mahi- Mahi. Is a large deep sea
fish that lives in tropical and subtropical seas. They can be found under floating
objects and have been known to follow boats. You will usually find a school of them
underneath a bunch of floating Sargasso. 
They are bright greenish blue above, and yellow on it's sides. All over the sides of
their bodies they have Irregular blue or golden blotches. They have the capability of
flashing purple, chartreuse, and a wide range of other colors. Their body tapers sharply
from head to tail. The profile of an adult males head is nearly vertical and the head of
a female is more sloping and rounded. Single dark dorsal fin from just head to tail. They
have about 65 rays extending down their back. The bad thing about this fish when you go
fishing for it, the color nearly instantaneously fades when the fish is decked. So you
can't really enjoy the beautiful coloration of the fish. They usually live for 2-3 years.
So the mature very fast after they are born.
Dolphin fish is a very good exotic food. The actual food is usually known as Mahi- Mahi
which is the Hawaiian name for the fish. This is a great tasting fish and is not that
expensive but is not an every day thing. The flesh is very white and mild, ideal for
broiling, too good to waste in a frying pan. You can usually find it in sandwiches or on
BBQ as a steak. It is a higher quality fish. Good fishing fish for deep-sea fishing. I
have fished for Dolphin before and I highly recommend it.
