Is a Dolphin that you eat the same as Dolphins swim with?

No, the dolphins you eat are not the same as the dolphins that swim in the ocean.

* Dolphins that swim in the ocean are marine mammals, known for their intelligence and playful nature. They are protected species in many countries.

* The "dolphin" you might eat is actually a fish, called mahi-mahi. It's a large, colorful fish with a distinctive, slightly flattened body.

So, while both are called "dolphin", they are entirely different creatures.
