Mahi Mahi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolphin_fish
All I was saying is that Mahi Mahi is not Dolphin, it is Dolphin-Fish. There is a difference, and neither one of them is a porpoise.

people started calling them dolphin-fish to stop the confusion. porpoise are mammals. dolphin are fish. i have a McClane's New Standard Fishing Encyclopedia on my shelf. flip to dolphin. bang there's a mahimahi. same thing. i was talking about it with a marine biologist at the Vancouver Aquarium. she said that the mahimahi was called a dolphin long before the other dolphins and porpoises. she acknowledged that yes, porpoise are a separate species than the other dolphins, but that they are so close in relation, that she and most of her coworkers just refer to them all as porpoise. kind of like saying brown bear when referring to grizzly and kodiak bears. separate species, although virtually the same thing. the media is responsible for the influx of dolphinism as i call it.
Dolphin sounds cuter than porpoise, that reminds people of turtles....
I think porpoise, I think canned tuna. Mmmmmmm.

I have shot and eaten cormorants and crows. The crows were surprisingly OK but the cormorant tasted like duck soaked in cod liver oil.
Then what is a Bottlenose DOLPHIN? It's a mammal....
The Orca (killer whale) is actually a member of the DOLPHIN FAMILY and it's a mammal....
And no, dolphins and porpoises are not the same thing.
Delphinidae - dolphin genera and species (in dolphin (mammal)), any of the toothed whales belonging to the families Delphinidae (oceanic dolphins) or Platanistidae (river dolphins). Of the 32 species of dolphins in the Delphinidae, 6 are commonly called whales, including the killer whale and the pilot whales.
Ok, now! Which one tastes like fish?
All the regular grocery store animals plus:
Deer, moose, caribou, elk, wild boar, beaver, ducks and geese, bear, grouse, pheasant, rabbit, red squirrel, wild turkey, rattle snake, almost all of the local fishes.
My list to try:
Raccoon, cougar and/or bobcat, seal, and anything else others are eating.
My wife has also tried horse (in France) and kangaroo.

My list is pretty tame compared to some (most) so far. Just your basic farm animals, plus your standard wild game. About the only odd ones I can think of are black squirrel and crayfish. Squirrel tasted like chewing on a piece of fresh pine, so the dog got to finish it. The crayfish were not bad at all, very sweet as I recall.
