Mahi mahi
Mahi mahi is a by-product of tuna. It is a large species reaching lengths of up to 1.8 metres. It tends to be a low priced fillet, as it is not well known.
Note about amines: Fresh seafood has low amine levels, but when older than two days the amine content rises to moderate, and any fish that has been frozen has high levels.
