    An on-topic note is that David Brin, in his novel
    Startide Rising, features dolphins as crew members.

    No, dolphins are mammals, not fish.

    And yet, mammals are more closely related to many fish than those
    are to other fish.

    Mahimahi is delicious but does not get its own special day. Although I
    would support such a day by eating grilled fish if it was proposed.

    I like mahi-mahi which some people confuse with dolphinfish.

    The mahi-mahi *is* a dolphinfish, or more precisely it is the "common dolphinfish" (Coryphaena hippurus). It is also known as the "dorado"
    and "bull dolphin", among many other names.

    The second type of dolphinfish is the "pompano dolphinfish" (Coryphaena equiselis).

    Both of these are very delicious fish, but C. equiselis is better pan-fried while C. hippurus will pan-fry well enough but is amazing grilled.
