Casting for the Best Catch of the Day

It is time to test your culinary prowess. Restaurant Daiquiri Dick's in Puerto Vallarta is holding a recipe battle, The Daiquiri Dick's 1st Annual Mahi Mahi Cooking Contest. Here's your chance to join the team, become a menu namesake, win a prize and share your best effort with the world.
The cooking challenge stars Mahi Mahi, called Dorado in Mexico. This is one of the most popular fish caught in the Bay of Banderas. It has exceptional taste with firm white flesh, a sweet flavor and known to be less "fishy" tasting than many other fish.
The Daiquiri Dick's staff is looking for the best use of Mahi Mahi/Dorado in an original recipe. They hope to inspire their clients, local cooks and perhaps future cooking stars to submit their flavorful fish creations.
Cooking Contest Rules:
• Open to home, amateur and professional cooks, over the age of 16 (Daiquiri Dick's employees are ineligible)
• Contestants may submit up to three entries
• All entries must be submitted by midnight October 4, 2010, by email through the website, DDPV.com or delivered to the restaurant or The Deli
• All entries must include a photo of the contestant and the finished dish
• All entries must include cook's personal contact information (email address, telephone and snail mail address)
Recipe Requirements:
• All must use fresh, seasonal, locally grown and/or readily available ingredients
• All recipes must make 4 to 6 servings
• All recipes must be original and not already published in any public forum
Six semifinalists will be selected from the submitted recipes. These will be prepared by the Daiquiri Dick's kitchen staff and presented to a panel of judges and a select group of Daiquiri Dick's diners. Recipes will be judged on originality and taste. The winners will be announced November 10, 2010.
• First Place winner will receive a $100 USD Daiquiri Dick's Gift Certificate
• Second Place winner will receive a $75 USD Daiquiri Dick's Gift Certificate
• Third Place winner will receive a $50 USD Daiquiri Dick's Gift Certificate

The winning recipe will be featured on the Daiquiri Dick's website, DDPV.com, and presented as a menu special during high season, with the cook's name noted. The restaurant staff looks forward to sampling and sharing your recipes. Good Luck!
 Daiquiri Dick's contemporary design exudes a quiet elegance that invites relaxation, and its tropical location at Olas Altas 314 on Los Muertos Beach offers the perfect atmosphere for enjoying spectacular views of Banderas Bay.
