Can I use another type of white fish besides Mahi Mahi?

Yes, you can use whatever type of fish you like. I would stick with white fish or salmon for this recipe, though.

Can I use light coconut milk for this recipe?

Yes, but your fish stew will not be as rich and flavorful.

Can I use brown sugar instead of coconut sugar?

If you don't have any coconut sugar you can substitute brown sugar in place of it.
