Why Mahi Mahi shows up in protein-forward diets
Firmer texture than cod or tilapia, which is why it survives grilling directly on grates without falling apart.
Serving-size math
A 1 fillet (140g) portion delivers 36.4g of protein and roughly 153 calories. Scaled per 100 calories, that works out to 23.85g of protein — useful for comparing against other foods on a calorie-matched basis rather than a weight-matched one.
Prep tip
Marinate no longer than 30 minutes — mahi's texture turns mushy with extended acid exposure.
