Rue’s Recipe… Dolphin Fish with Mango Salsa (Mahi Mahi / Dorado)
Serves 4
4 x .350g Dolphin Fish Steaks
“You may substitute the Dolphin fish with another high quality fish like Kingfish”
2 Large Mangoes
1 Large Bunch Cilantro
The Messy Stuff… Peel the mangoes, cut them in half, and remove the pits. Cut one mango into 1-inch chunks and place in a blender. Add a pinch of salt, 12 cilantro leaves, and 2 tablespoons cold water. Process until very smooth. Set sauce aside at room temperature.
Cut the remaining mango into 1/4-inch cubes, and put in a small bowl. Coarsely chop enough cilantro to yield 1/2 cup and add it to the mango. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir and chill the mango salsa for up to 30 minutes.
Scatter 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black peppercorns over one side of each Dolphin fish steaks, pressing firmly into the flesh. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
Heat two medium non-stick skillets until very hot or use the solid plat side of your BBQ. Add the fish, pepper-side down, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes each side over high heat, until the fish is seared on the outside but still moist in the center. Remove from the heat. Let rest 1 minute. Serve the fish atop a mound of mango salsa and spoon mango sauce around the sides. Garnish with additional cilantro leaves and serve immediately.
Special Note:- Cilantro leaves have a very pungent odor and are widely used in Mexican, Caribbean and Asian cooking. So you may have to go to a specialty shop to find them. It looks a bit like flat Italian parsley and in fact they are related.

GORDO BANKS PANGAS
San Jose del Cabo
March 22, 2014
Anglers -
The Spring season has now officially begun, weather conditions have been hard to
beat, warm and sunny skies, with high temperatures near 80 degrees. Winds have been
swirling now for the past week, first from the north and then out of the south, this
has created some choppy ocean conditions at times. Ocean temperatures have averaged
from 71 on the Pacific, up to 74 degrees off of San Jose del Cabo.
This is now peak time for spring break vacations, scores of families and hundreds
are college students are arriving in the Los Cabos area, though this past week we
did not see as many anglers, of course windy conditions certainly convinced some
people to change plans. With the passing of the latest full moon we saw the offshore
action for striped marlin slow way down, these fish were now more scattered and not
being seen in any numbers.
The majority of the dorado being encountered recently were found closer to shore,
this is where concentrations of half beaks (ballyhoo) were schooling. Trolling
various baitfish was the most successful for these gamefish, though some anglers did
report catching dorado on lures as well. Sizes were averaging 5 to 15 pounds, with a
handful of larger specimens accounted for. Most charters were fortunate to average
about one dorado per day.
No action on yellowfin tuna being reported, only a few fish reported, mixed in with
bonito off the high spots from Iman to San Luis Banks, Yellowfin have been holding
in this region through the winter, though with the lack of sardinas to entice them,
we have not seen any consistent action on these tuna since the Fall. The only live
baitfish that has been plentiful has been caballito, rigging fresh dead ballyhoo has
been another option.
Off of the high spots, where anglers were jigging over the structure, bonito was the
most common species being landed; these feisty fighters were running in the 4 to 8
pound class. Only an occasional amberjack or yellowtail is being hooked into, most
of these striking on yo-yo style jigs and ranged from 20 to 35 pounds. There are big
yellowtails now on the Outer Gordo Banks, lots of bonito on these same grounds,
striking on the iron jigs, drifting live caballito down deep can be productive for
the big yellows, though a problem has been there are many hammerhead sharks lurking
down deep on these grounds, hard to stay away from them while trying for the jacks.
These rock piles also produced some cabrilla and snapper, though that massive red
snapper run during the red crab bloom of previous week has not redeveloped, need
these winds to reside for that to happen. We are in transition time now, still
unpredictable as to what can happen with the weather conditions from day to day.
With the water temperatures holding a bit warmer than normal, baitfish migrations
are off and so are typically gamefish patterns. Wahoo have been found though the
winter, they are still being hooked into practically daily, though a bit sporadic,
most of this action was reported on the inshore grounds from Punta Gorda to La
Fortuna, water depths from 100 to 150 ft., strong winds last week turned over this
water some and anglers found varied success.
We are still seeing numerous whales, though surely these will be the final weeks of
this activity, many of these mammals have already begun their northern migration.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos Marina sent
out approximately 78 charters for this past week, with anglers accounting for a fish
count of: 8 striped marlin, 5 wahoo, 2 yellowfin tuna, 9 yellowtail, 16 amberjack,
395 bonito, 6 jack crevalle, 7 sierra, 42 dorado, 24 roosterfish, 18 cabrilla and 12
hammerhead sharks (released).
Good fishing, Eric
