Has anyone consumed dolphin/whale
What does it taste like? Is it similar to high grade tuna?

Dolphin, the mammal, is a protected species. There is a dolphin fish, nowadays usually referred to as mahi mahi, which I think is quite good. But it is not related to whale at all. (Nor is it related to the mammal, dolphin. )
I grew up learning that the Innuits eat whale, but I do not know if that is really true, or if it was true and is no longer. I have never had it.

@DrWatson why are dolphins protected if they are considered least concern by conservation groups? I believe they do eat whale, they need the blubber and also whales/seals are all they have to consume. I’d love to consume a non threatened species to reduce my consumption of threatened species while also experimenting with food.

@Sadwithasmile Dolphins are a highly intelligent species. They even communicate via language, consisting of beeping noises that they make. So an international agreement was passed in the UN, as well as laws withing the United States, not to kill them for food.

@DrWatson lovely, the un protects dolphins but cant protect humans from being slaughtered by their or other governments. The un truly is the embodiment of the league of nations.

@Sadwithasmile Mahi mahi is what is also known as the dolphin fish. These days they say mahi mahi a lot more often in order to avoid confusion with the mammal we now call dolphin.
What we typically call dolphins were initially called porpoises, and are mammals related to whales.

@HootyTheNightOwl People eat the fish called dolphin, not the mammal called dolphin. They are two different things. Flipper is safe!
I am not so sure about Willy though.
