Just to set the record straight for the 10047th time,
Mahi-mahi is NOT a mammel.  The fish is a dolphin.
There are TWO creatures named dolphin.  The one you
eat in Hawaii is a FISH.  The other one is really
a porpise and a mammel.  Porpoises are protected
under federal law and cannot be taken for commercial
or sporting purposes.  The true dolphin, a flat faced
creature, very swift, and a good sporting fish is what
you get in the resturants.  The Feds do not look very
kindly upon folks selling porpises for eating in
public resturants.  The dolphin is good eating while
the porpise is not very tasty.  The dolphin TASTES
like a fish, the porpoise does not.
Come on out to New Jersey this summer and we will
go out and catch some dolphin when they are running.
Then we will grill some up and enjoy.
