Mahi Mahi is a Hawaiian form of tuna. The meat is dense, like tuna. Tilapia is a freshwater, boneless filet that is much more tender, with a very mild flavor.

They are completely different fish.
Mahi mahi is dolphin (not the mammal) and is sought after in sport fishing ecause they can grow to large sizes.
Tilapia is usually smaller. I think tilapia must be a cheaper and more abundant fish. It seems like it is the ew catfish. Every ostenario is selling talpia as their standard fih instead of catfish.
Mahi mahi is going to be a little pricy but is considered a better fish. Personally, I like the tilapia better. If you are baking it, add a little butter, greek seaoning and top with lemon. Voila!

Mahi Mahi is related to the dolphin. It has a stronger flavor than Tilapia. It isn't so much a fishy flavor but if you are worried about it I would use lemon juice. They are both excellent fish I prefer Tilapia but Mahi Mahi is also good, more expensive but good.

Mahi mahi, I believe, is a lot firmer, like tuna. Tilapia is flakier like perch or something. Both can be grilled but Mahi mahi holds up better. I guess it depends on how you're using it.

Properly called dolphin or dorado, the mahi-mahi is not related to the mammal called dolphin. It is one of the most beautiful fish in the sea; brilliantly colored with an iridescent bluish green and gold body, and golden yellow fins and forked tail
Tilapia, several species and their hybrids of Oreochromis, are the second most important group of farm raised fish in the world. Tilapia farming and consumption are rapidly increasing in the US. Tilapia is now the fifth most popular seafood consumed in the United States.

Totally different fish. Mahi mahi is very mild. Tilapia - I do not know except that they are "farm raised" and mahi mahi are wild.

How can you even compare Mahi-Mahi to talapia??? Talapia is so bad for you...one of the worst foods you can eat. And so bland!!! Someone that says they like talapia over Mahi- Mahi obviously doesn't eat a lot of fish. And is just going after the cheapest. And Mahi-Mahi is not a Hawaiian form of tuna!!!! Its nothing like tuna!!!

its a difference in the water they come from and what they eat, so of course the taste is different accordingly
