Paul wanted me to go home with the sea robin, which was actually less than half the price of the dolphin he was selling. Speaking as my fishmonger, he said that by cooking and then writing about it on this food blog I might be able to expand the market for a very under-appreciated fish, …

dolphin, scape, habanada, pericón; potatoes, epazote; kale
The single dolphin fillet was a little smaller than that I’d usually prefer to get for the two of us, but while I was at the fisher’s stand I couldn’t figure out how to bring home more without messing up the aesthetic of the plate. Fortunately I had some wonderful vegetables to help fill in. …
marinated dolphin; potato, garlic mustard; herbed tomato
They were the last 2 dolphin fillets at the fisherman’s stand yesterday, and just the right size for the two of us. I would go home with them of course, not just because they’re so scarce, on that day, sure, but in the local market generally, but because we love this fish. Some people might …
zesty dolphin with habanada; minutina; currant tomatoes
It’s a super fish, its flavor and texture poised between the most interesting of the rich oily seafood and the most delicate of white-fleshed varieties. I love it. four fillets (a total of one pound) of skinned local dolphinfish from Pura Vida Seafood (aka orata, or dorade, or, in the US, commonly attached to the …
thyme-marinated, grilled dolphin; potatoes, chervil; lacinato
First, it wasn’t the mammal. It had gills and fins, at least originally. Second, this time I decided I’d prepare this wonderful fish, which is oddly tagged, the ‘common dolphinfish‘, as simply as possible. It began with a simple marinade.. ..and wound up as a simple grill, the dolphin arriving on the plate dressed in …

grilled dolphin, grilled corn/husk cherry/tomato/basil salsa
Dolphin. I love this fish, for its beauty almost as much as its tastiness. This time I was able to see, and photograph, a little bit of the former while it stay lay in the fish monger’s bucket in the Union Square Greenmarket. one fairly thick Atlantic dolphin fillet (17 ounces) – with skin! – …
lemon/thyme marinated dolphin, leeks; sautéed cucumber
It’s a wonderful fish; they all are, at least those we’ve figured out make good eating (but, yes, all of the others are wonderful as well). I had served dolphin 4 times before; each time the fish seemed more delicious than before, and so it was last Wednesday (August 16). I love cucumbers in any form. This time they …
dolphin, lemon, alliums, thyme, tapenade; squash; tomato
This fish doesn’t get much respect. This has been true even after some people decided it would go over better if it were called ‘mahi -mahi,’ rather than the traditional, ‘dolphin’, or ‘dolphinfish’, important in both western cuisine and art for 4 millennia (long before Hawaii turned up). I came close to exhausting the topic, once before, at least as it …
dolphin, thyme, allium; potato, lovage; snow peas, savory
When I saw ‘Mahi-mahi‘ posted on the board of Paul’s stand in the Greenmarket I immediately knew what we were going to have for dinner. When it came to my turn in line, I stepped right up and asked for ‘Dolphin’. Paul registered a little mock horror, since there were probably people within earshot of my voice, and …
