Good reason to use "mahi mahi". I do agree, though, it's good. - Neil --==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==-- Neil Weinstock @ AT&T Bell Labs // What was sliced bread att!edsel!nsw or nsw@edsel.att.com \X/ the greatest thing since?

If have never had fresh shark grilled on )a open fire you haven't lived. It is really wonderful stuff. "Mahi Mahi" is a fish, not a shark. The English term for it is "Dolphin Fish" (Which is NOT actually dolphin BTW. It IS actually a fish... :-). There is a "Mako Shark", which is what may have confused you. (At the moment, I have forgotten what the Hawaiian name for shark is. Oh well.) I grew up in Hawaii, and have fished with my father (an avid deep-sea fisherman) many times. I agree with your statement about grilled shark. Smoked Marlin is another favorite. And the Fish CD collection should be called: "The Fish Tank!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chad Netzer chad@cup.portal.com
