Mahi Mahi

Nick celebrated his bachelor party in the Outer Banks a few weeks ago and returned with over 20 lbs. of fresh fish! So for Father’s Day, we grilled mahi mahi — two ways. Both were tasty, but we all agreed we loved the heat of the blackened version. Nick still has about seven bags of fillets, so stay tuned for more seafood recipes!
