"Mahi-mahi fish?" Is that meant to distinguish it from mahi-mahi pork or
mahi-mahi beef? :-)

I'm glad it turned out the way you like, but this is one more example of how
dramatically tastes vary: To me, Mexican rice has little or no tomato at
all. (When I make what I think of as "Mexican" rice, I usually follow one
of the rice recipes in the Coyote Cafe cookbook, none of which contain
tomato.)
