Yeah apparently it's real popular sporting fish cause it's feisty and fights well; it's delicious too. Check out the pic, it's an interesting looking fish. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahi_mahi

Have you ever read Hemingway's "Old Man and the Sea"? I believe he mentions dolphin fish in it.

I've eaten shark, it's ok, I guess it depends on the species. Never had dolphin though, unless some of it has ended up in my can of tuna (dolphin safe?). I always thought they were endangered and thus protected. But now I'm curious what it tastes like.
