Re: Weird Food - Care to share?
The mammalian bottle-nosed dolphin, sometimes called a porpoise is what Flipper was. There are several different species of mammalian dolphin.
I worked with sharks at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (U of Miami) in Key Biscayne in the seventies. Dr. Samuel Gruber was my mentor. (That's where I was caught doing my thesis work before attaining my baccalaureate - oops!) I was transferring a 4 foot lemon shark from our tank into an apparatus for behavioral studies on duplex retina vision, when it struggled and bit my hand. Almost lost the tip of my finger, but managed to come away with only a few gashes.
Most of the shark I have eaten was grilled. It was delicious when properly cooked. Lots of restaurants would use a kitchen implement shaped like a cookie cutter to cut shark fillets into scallops. When properly cooked, it would take a muscle expert to tell them apart.
