Mahi-Mahi fillets on the Old Country Brazos

[BBQbevo]

On a roll with chicken thighs and ribs so I figured I’d try something else on the Old Country Brazos. I only used Post Oak with this smoke.

2 mahi-mahi fish fillets seasoned with salt/pepper, some olive oil, and squeezed lemon.

I kept the smoker going consistently at 250, sometimes a little lower, and they were finished at 145 in about an hour an a half.

The Mahi-Mahi was pretty buttery, although I realize next time I will not add the olive oil and lemon before putting on the smoker. I’ll just add lemon on top next time when it’s finished because some of the surface of the fish dried out a little bit.

Overall, it took the smoke really well and the fish was still buttery on the inside. I will definitely try again.

Damn all. Now I want some Mahi. Haven't had any in a long time. Tough to find fresh/ good in Minnesota. For obvious reasons.

My favorite salt water fish. Grouper is a close second.
I make a foil boat and poach them in butter.

Get the frozen Tom. Most fish should be frozen to kill parasites. Fresh on the counter means previously frozen and needs to get eaten soon. Buy it frozen and thaw at your convenience.

I kind of agree on that but it depends on where you live. If you are in California or Hawaii you can get them fresh off the boat and it tastes way better than a frozen one could dream of.

Cooking it properly will kill any brain worms.

If you live in the middle of the country get them frozen and enjoy a better than most fish taste.

They looks so pretty live it is hard to imagine how good they are to eat.

BTW...

The dolphinfish is also often called mahi-mahi, and not at all related to the marine mammal dolphins. This colorful, distinct fish has a long body and a blunt face, with a forked caudal fin (tail), and a dorsal fin that runs the length of its body.

Buy flash frozen fish, let it thaw slowly in the refer on a wire rack, cover the fish with a paper towel to absorb moisture. It's the next best thing to fresh, because they freeze it right out of the water.
