Breadcrumb Baked Mahi Mahi

It's been a bit since I have written, but I'm back to give another recipe to the world.

This one is for a fish meal that tastes very good. At least I think so. HAHAHA
First you need to like fish and all the tastes that surround it. Tender,chewy, delicate, spongy and so on. Well this recipe has a bit of an outside crispy crunch with an inside delicate flaking Mahi Mahi steak.

For those who do not know, Mahi Mahi is a Hawaiian word that means "strong-strong" for dolphin fish. Take a look at the images below.





These fish are very colorful and taste great. Always look for fresh Mahi steaks if available, but if you have to the frozen will be just fine. Just remember to thaw it out before use or you will have a fun time with your dish HAHAHA.

Ok, you will need to cut your steaks into 2in x 2in x 6in if possible and should look approximately like this


It is not necessary to cut them into this size however you will need to watch your baking time. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Next you will need these ingredients as follows:
White bread crumbs
Sea salt
Garlic salt
Cheyenne pepper
2 eggs
Water or Milk

First crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add a 1/4 cup of milk or water. I prefer the milk in mine but no biggie. Mix it up by hand with whisk or fork. Next prepare the crumb mix. Oh before I go on please use your best judgment as to how much of these you are making and be sure you have enough ingredients. I am no pro and make my dishes on my thoughts alone. Basically I think of it (I know it's been done before) then I go with whats in the cupboard.

Ok back to the mix. Place bread crumbs in a good sized bowl then add your sea salt, garlic salt and a small amount of cheyenne pepper. You can add as much as you want just do not over do it or you will have a salty mess. Mix it all together and your ready to start the assembly line. Place a piece of Mahi into the egg mix and cover thoroughly then place into bread mix and cover thoroughly again. For extra crispy place back into egg mix then back in bread mix to give and extra layer of crunch.

Place finished Mahi on baking pan lined with non-stick foil. The non-stick foil works great so there is no sticking of the crispy outer layer. Then place in the center of oven for approx 12-15 minutes. You do not want to over cook the fish or it will taste to firm, it needs to be very slightly pink inside. The fish starts out pink to begin with then turns white. Make whatever side dish you like. I made a small side salad that went great with the baked Mahi.

Here is a picture of my finished product



Well there it is and please enjoy if you should embark on this quest for your own Breaded Baked Mahi.

Bring Back American Manufacturing

Where is your shirt from?
How about your shoes?
Ooh, where did that American flag come from?



Today most products flow from the countries our great democracy despises.
The unhealthy sweatshops with nasty slave driving bosses. Ooh, but its getting better right. Well I for one do not believe so. Too many companies relay on that work from poor non educated people. The same poor people who look for something, anything that can pay them 15 cents a day so they can send money back to the family.

Well if those same poorly educated people come to America they can make 15 dollars or more a day. Because of our corporate leaders and politicians we Americans can look forward to working with or have our jobs taken from people who still do not understand the functionality of a toilet. This is the great American sweat shop for the English challenged.



For the last 20-30 years our government has been selling us out and ridding our country of manufacturing and instilling a service industry. Sure there are still some great jobs out there if you can find them. If you have been awake and watching the laws and regulations being passed you will notice that for some ungodly reason it is very hard for a small business to succeed. We have very strict laws regarding the export of our American goods while at the same time importing crap that sucks.

Most recently we have imported from china lead based toys, poisoned pet food, poisoned seafood and I'm quite sure arms and ammunitions continue to come that are loaded into those giant containers. Think I'm kidding? Do your own research to find the truth or keep your eyes adjusted to the same news on every sheeple channel.

Hey I just want more to wake up and ask honest questions to why things are the way they are. Or, if you like dig a hole and stick your head in. I for one would like to see whats coming and who trying to bite my ass. I may not be able to stop them but at least I know it's coming and have opportunities to change the situation.

Oh bless this great country of ours and lets try to keep the blood flowing. Lets unclog our arteries from immigration and infestation and start building what this country was designed to do. Set a standard for all to see so then they can change their own countries instead of corrupting ours. My ancestors came here in the early 1800's and became Americans. Those who arrived in the last 30 or so years could care less of this country. If they do, then show it or leave it. Stop telling of your country and how it is great, cause if that were the case why are you here.

If you intend on leaving your god forsaken third world rubble to become an American citizen, do not be a loafer free to expel your unintelligible english on us. For me it's speak english or leave. If for some unworldly reason I would go to another country, I would have the decency to learn the language of the country.

Well I could go on and you can disagree, but take a look at where your American flag was made and see if you really want to be here and make this a better country. Making and building is what we are about. Take that from us, we would truly be working in a sweat shop.

There is my rant and I would hope instead of immediately disagreeing with me you would do some research to see how much this country is changing. Then ask yourself if you want this change or will you help to make America better. Also, if you don't care then please by all means stick your head in the sand and get your ass chewed by someone or something you have no clue about. It's your choice!
