Oh yeah, we just love flipper, preferrably with a slice of skippy too.

Its the local name for what you call mahi mahi.

To be fair, most of the islands have some people that will eat one of the dolphin types, not sure which, but they are definitely not short on numbers. Dont get all human about it, its a fish...

We also [not personally] eat manicou [possum] tatou [armadillo] iguana and some of the turtles [not leatherback, endangered, also far too big.]

Turtles ok, had it about 20 years ago, the rest, nope, i tried and passed... Some also eat the mona monkeys, i prefer to see them alive, they are protected too.

Try a breaded deep fried camenbert, or the french cheese made for melting - raclette. Also aged gouda makes awesome melted cheese on toast.

Dolphins are not fish.

If you want the exact ones I sampled and loved, the place is called Graze. Right by the capitol building in downtown Madison. The Mac n Cheese pizza is nearby too!

Also, not sure if you've been yet, but I'd recommend HopCat. Awesome beers, and some strange ones (bacon beer, anyone?). But the creme de la creme, is the crack fries. But a word of warning - you won't be able to eat just one portion, you'll want more.

That all sounds great.

I have heard that gouda is a good melting cheese. Though there is something to be said for a nice mature (English) cheddar on toast with a bit of Worcestershire sauce. Mmmmmm.

Duly noted. Though again, the next time we're heading that way we will be whizzing by Madison on 90 as we're heading for another destination to the north.

I haven't been to HopCat yet, either. We're not in the city that often, we're way up by the WI state line. There's a Metra station a mile from my house, but usually when we do go to Chicago it's for a concert, or to go to a museum or something and we're in and out pretty quickly. Except when I go to the yard there for work, but that's off of Cicero, so I don't hang around too long there.

I couldn't resist finding out what crack fries are. Sound delish.

People still eat whales too.

A dolphin is not a fish. Neither is a whale.
Both are cetaceans & are mammals.
They are highly intelligent social animals . They are self-aware .
They are far more complex than us. We could learn a lot from them .

For anyone interested. Himself and me are trained marine medics. That means that if there is a stranding or a cetacean/pod is in trouble in our area we will help with a rescue.

A dolphin is far more complex than a human? What in terms of breathing? Please don't say you think it's intelligence is anywhere near a human's.

BEVS

I suppose it depends how one views intelligence.

Rete

Or humans

The Dolphin Fish is a fish.

Jerseygirl

Uk_grenada didn't say Dolphin Fish...he said dolphin.

He said "Its the local name for what you call mahi mahi."

BEVS

In which case he referred to a fish.
