A bitg hit. I only had one fresh mango so i added some canned mango and subed the fresh basil with dried, but it was still absolutely delicious!!! I was skeptical while I was making it but it turned out great. I will definitely make this again.

Awesome recipe! I put the coconut in a blender to finely chop it. Didn't have Mango so used pineapple and added a Habanero pepper for a little spice. The fish was so good, little sweet but you could still taste the fish through the crust. We used Walleye as it is freshly caught in this area, more of a delicate fish then the Mahi Mahi but the flavors still worked great.
