Frozen Wild Caught Mahi-Mahi Fillets
What it is
These are individually frozen fillets of mahi-mahi, a firm, white-fleshed fish known for its mild flavor. The fish is wild-caught, meaning it was harvested from its natural ocean habitat. Freezing helps preserve the freshness and quality of the fish until you are ready to prepare it. Each fillet is typically skinless and boneless, making it convenient for cooking.

To prepare frozen mahi-mahi, it is best to thaw it properly. You can do this by placing the fillets in the refrigerator overnight or by using the defrost setting on your microwave.
