I had the same situation with some salmon yesterday. I baked it thoroughly and ate it.
Today my fins are nice and full, and the colour of my scales is greatly enhanced.

It depends on what you mean by "a while." A few days, you should be fine. A little over a week, that's iffy. Two weeks or more, throw it. Mahimahi is more fishy than most. A week in the freezer and the flavor is going down hill. If you live in an apartment, consider grilling it outdoors. If that fish has been in the freezer for a week and you fry it, be prepared to live with the smell of fish on everything you own.
