Mahi-Mahi (Dorado) are one of the most visually stunning fish in the Red Sea โ€” electric blue, green and gold, with a blunt forehead. They associate with floating debris, weed lines, and FADs offshore. Once you find one, there are usually many โ€” they school together. Incredible light-tackle sport fish.
