Don't confuse the fish dolphin with the porpoise.  The fish, mahi mahi, is
a blunt-headed salt-water game fish usually about three feet long.  Due to
its name shared with the mammal, we sometimes did call it "Flipper's friend",
but it is NOT the same.  Look it up in a sports fishing book, such as "The
Angler's Guide" if you are interested.
And no, I wouldn't eat a porpoise either.
