Why is mahi-mahi called 'mahi-mahi,' and not just 'mahi'?!
Thanks!
Answers: Did the one who named this particular fish have a stutter, or did he just enjoy hearing himself talk? Another reason?
Thanks!
The Answer is Clear (????)

It still doesn't answer the question. Maybe this is sort of like the saying "a Man's man". Maybe this is a Fish's Fish. Or maybe it was named by a 2 year old. Or maybe it's just easier than calling it Coryphaena hippurus. When I was a kid we just called it "Dorado".
because it's twice the mahi flavor.......
no friggin clue.
A stuttering fish? : )
Idk, Idk.
