Mahi-mahi meal
February 16, 2008
This past Valentine’s night, my boyfriend and I went to TGI Friday’s to celebrate. I was extremely ecstatic that it was my turn to choose the restaurant that night, because I really can’t imagine how sick I would be if I had to give in to his obsession with Olive Garden again. After a twenty-minute wait, we were seated and captivated by the menu content, I knew I wanted to try something new (which goes hand in hand with my taste-something-new-each-month-this-year goal). So, my selection for the night was Island Grilled Mahi-mahi.
The moment the mahi-mahi met my tastebuds, I fell in love with it, despite not knowing exactly what kind of fish it is. It was soft, delicious, and cooked to perfection. I was really pleased with my choice of meal and felt that it was a perfect Valentine’s night. Well.. that is until we went home and I looked up “mahi-mahi”. I almost jumped out of my skin when I discovered through expedia that mahi-mahi is also known as dolphin! My stomach twisted and turned. I was happy I got the chance to try a new meal, but the guilt of eating part of a precious dolphin was tearing me apart at the same time! As I researched further, I became somewhat relieved to learn that mahi-mahi is listed under sustainable seafood choices (they are abundant and are harvested as well as managed in environmentally friendly ways).
Have you recently tasted something new for the first time?
