The mahi-mahi (pronounced /ˈmɑːhiːˈmɑːhi/, "MA-hee-MA-hee") is a rare fish in the Animal Crossing series introduced in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. It appears as a very large shadow off the pier all day long from late spring to mid fall. It is the only fish that does not have a huge shadow size in New Horizons that the player holds with both hands when initially caught or showing it off.
It also appears in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp as an event fish that was available for a limited time during Fishing Tourney: Fintastic, from November 12 to November 19, 2020.

Donating to the museum[edit]
As with all fish in the Animal Crossing series, the mahi-mahi can be donated to the museum, followed by a small talk by Blathers about it.
In New Horizons[edit]
When donating to Blathers or selecting "Tell me about this!" in New Horizons, he will provide the following information about the fish:
Once donated, the mahi-mahi can be found in the north-east room of the fish exhibit, in the large central tank with the porthole windows. It will often swim near the glass wall, and sometimes will try to pierce the Anchovy school, scattering them for a moment - it shares this behavior with many of the large fish also in this tank.

Real-world information[edit]
Mahi-mahi, also referred to as the common dolphinfish is a surface-dwelling ray-finned fish found in off-shore temperate, tropical, and subtropical waters worldwide. It is one of two members of the family Coryphaenidae, alongside the pompano dolphinfish. These fish are most commonly found in the waters around the Gulf of Mexico, Costa Rica, and Hawaii.
