Mahi with Rum Recipe
Don’t put just any rum in this dish. Be creative. There are many different kinds of rum, and each can add a slightly different flavor. Dark rums have more flavor. Try Appleton from Jamaica, Casique from Venezuela, Pussers from Tortola in the British Virgin Islands, and Myers from Jamaica. And never forget this advice from the legendary Cajun Justin Wilson, “If you wouldn’t drink it, don’t put it in your food!”
