PEIXE BOI


The mahi-mahi is a dolphin-fish, but is well known by its Hawaiian name Mahimahi. They are surface-dwelling ray-finned fish found in off-shore tropical waters around the world. Even though the common name is dolphin-fish, the mahi-mahi is actually a fish, and is not related to the dolphin family of mammals. Mahi-mahi has a lifespan of 4 to 5 years and catches average 15 to 28 pounds each. The compressed bodies have a long dorsal fins that extend almost the entire length of their bodies, with sharply concave anal fins. They are distinguished by dazzling colors: golden on the sides and bright blues and greens on the sides and back. Mahi-mahi is one the fastest-growing fish. They are fast swimmers also, with a top swimming speed of 50 knots. Mahi-mahi is carnivorous feeding on other smaller fish like flying fish, crabs, squid, mackerel, and have been known to eat zoo plankton and shell fish.

We bought this mahi-mahi at the fish auction in Hawaii on Tuesday morning. It was delivered at the restaurant on Wednesday. The meat has a pristine texture, and a light pinky color. It is always a pleasure to cut and cook fish that has this level of quality. Mahi-mahi has a light and mild flavor and it is best-cooked medium rare.

Cet été les clients du restaurant pourront découvrir un dessert d’Auguste Escoffier : « Les fraises Sarah Bernhardt ». Inspiré par la célèbre comédienne, ce dessert est une petite merveille de douceur et de fraîcheur... Les fraises sont mises à macérer dans le curaçao, elles sont ensuite dressées en timbale au moment de servir, sur un socle de mousse glacée au curaçao et accompagnées d’un sorbet à l'ananas. www.benoit-paris.com
