Where Oh Where are the Mahi Mahi fillets?

Today I went to Sunset Foods and Whole Foods and neither had Mahi Mahi fillets! At Whole Foods they said the market price for Mahi Mahi has gone way up so they are not carrying as much as they used to. I was really looking forward to making grilled Mahi Mahi with Thai coconut sauce so I bought some Mahi Mahi kebobs and tried to make the best of it.

I made a few cups of jasmine rice in my rice cooker and heated some hardwood charcoal in the chimney starter. While those were heating up, I made a sauce out of coconut milk, crab juice, freshly squeezed lime juice, Thai fish sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, salt and pepper. I added a couple tablespoons of freshly chopped serrano peppers. I boiled the mixture for about 9 minutes and then took it off the heat. I added a quarter cup of cilantro and a few tablespoons of green onions.

I also grilled some red onions and green scallions in oil, salt and pepper while waiting for the fish sauce. The onions were a nice complement to the fish along with the jasmine rice.

I brushed the kebobs with the sauce and then grilled over high heat for a few minutes on each side. The kebobs were good but I can't wait to make the recipe using authentic Mahi Mahi fillets.

For dessert we had freshly cut mangos....yummo!
