Mahi Mahi galore and we love it!
This is our favorite fish. Dolphin fish is a schooling tropical species that arrives off the NSW coast with the warmer currents, usually during summer. These fish generally prefer offshore conditions and can often be found around floating objects such as fish trap buoys, weed rafts or Fish Aggregation Devices, i.e. FADs.
The minimum size is 60 cm but they may attain a maximum size of approx. 200cm.
The colours of these fish vary from a silver/white to yellow/green with iridescent blue spots. These fish have a narrow body, a high head profile (particularly large in males) and a high dorsal fin that runs nearly the length of the fish. The eyes are located quite low on the head.
