They're NOT Mahi Mahi, they're dolphin!
This is one of those things that somehow irks me. I grew up calling them dolphin, or dorado. I knew when I was about 7 or 8 years old, that Mahi Mahi referred to a specific, very strongly spiced way of preparing them, and to be absolutely correct, of preparing spotted Pompano dolphin fish . My grandfather (WWII Navy man) told me that Mahi Mahi means "strong strong" in Hawaiian, and refers to both the strength of the fish in fighting and the subsequent preparation of the fish in cooking. If you cooked it any other way, it might be "Mahi", or a strong fish, but it wasn't Mahi Mahi.
The common nickname of the common dolphin fish became "Mahi Mahi" in the mainland US because people didn't know the difference between dolphin and dolphin. Or between Coryphaena hippurus and Tursiops tursiops I hate politically correct junk that messes with my vocabulary!! They're dolphin What do you think?

It's those idiots who stopped the manatee harvesting . Quality manatee burgers are pretty amazing.

I'm all for consistency. If we're going to nitpick about dolphin vs. mahi vs. dorado, then we'd best shine a light on the fact that all those "bonito" that are being caught in Florida are Little Tunny, not bonito or false albacore or albies.
