Dorado

The Dorado, also known as the Mahi-Mahi or Dolphinfish, is one of the ocean's most vibrant and athletic predators. Blanketed in flashing golds and greens, this fast-swimming fish is a spectacular catch and a prized Islandpedia entry on Starsand Island. It is found year-round in the ocean, making it one of the more consistently available mid-to-high tier ocean challenges.

Dorado are active during daylight hours from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM in any weather and any season. Meat Bait is required to attract them — they are active carnivores that chase smaller fish near the surface. Head to the ocean zone during the day, any time of year, and bring Meat Bait to maximize your chances of a Dorado encounter.

Dorado is an excellent year-round fishing target — its all-season availability means it's never out of reach. It earns a strong sell price and is a quality cooking ingredient thanks to its firm, flavorful flesh. For anglers who want a reliable high-value ocean catch they can pursue at any time, the Dorado is a dependable choice.
