I can go along with that, or mahi mahi. My point was that calling it
dolphin, then calling people stupid because they think it's dolphin
when it's called dolphin on the menu is ludicrous.

Dolphin ... you idiot, it's not dolphin, it's a fish!
Dolphin ... oh, you didn't know it was like a porpoise?

Call it dolphin fish or mahi mahi or dorado, that's fine. Just don't
call someone stupid because they see dolphin on the menu and don't
wish to order that.
