Dorado Mini Pin S005MP

A vibrant and prized marine species found in warm oceanic waters, the Dorado is often referred to as the "Mahi-Mahi" or "Dolphin Fish" (although not related to dolphins). With its dazzling colors and remarkable fighting spirit, the Dorado is a favorite catch among anglers. Dorados are easily recognizable by their vibrant, golden-yellow bodies adorned with bright green and blue patterns. Their distinctive appearance and streamlined shape make them a sight to behold both in and out of the water. These fish are known for their speed and agility, often leaping out of the water in acrobatic displays when hooked. The nickname "Mahi-Mahi" comes from the Hawaiian language and means "strong-strong." It's a fitting name, as Dorados are powerful swimmers known for their vigorous fights when caught. They are a popular target for sports fishing due to their size, striking colors, and delicious, mild-flavored flesh. Dorados are opportunistic predators, feeding on a variety of smaller fish and squid. Their culinary appeal and sporting reputation have made them a sought-after catch in tropical and subtropical waters worldwide. Whether you're an angler seeking an exciting challenge or a seafood enthusiast savoring a delectable meal, the Dorado embodies the thrill and allure of offshore fishing.

Craft & construction

Mini pin, a smaller pin with a single post. The mini version is a smaller pin that is lighter, and only requires a single post and clutch. Mini pins possess the same artistic detail in a smaller footprint. A single post and clutch hold it flat, which makes it the right pick where a full-size pin is too much: thinner fabrics, hats, collars, and smaller spaces.

Certified American pewter. The antiqued finish is completely safe to touch — and the craft behind it has been refined over three decades. Each batch of pewter that arrives at our shop in Port Gamble, WA from an American supplier comes with a lab test showing the material is lead free.
