I'd have ate dolphin sushi 4 sure! PBJ got nothing on fresh fish. I can tell you how long ago you caught shrimp just by eatin them raw.

Last dead dolphin I saw was 39 years ago in the Sea of Cortez.... and it didn't smell fresh...  Shocked

I have seen a few crazy things in my travels but this one seems to stand out the most. A good friend and I were Black Bear hunting on Prince Of Whales Island in SE Alaska.  We had been hunting out of a boat and beaching it in bays and hunting the slat grass flats for about a week.  One day we had hunted this flat all morning and were going to walk out and hunt the afternoon and evening in the next bay over.  We decided to have lunch on the beach and were sitting and eating PB&J sandwiches when a whole pod of Dolphins 30 or so came through the very small entrance to this bay.  They came all the way up to us in very shallow water and started to act very strainge, almost beaching them selves at times. About 2 mins later a whole pod of Killer Whales 15  or so came through the entrance of the bay and started attacking the dolphins.  The larger whales would ram the dolphins so hard they would fly out of the water 20-30 feet in the air.  They would then float on the surface where the younger whales would ram the dolphins over and over hitting them hard each time.  This went on for about an hour.  My buddy and I were just watching in silence and in almost a trance.after all teh dolphins were dead and the whales had finished they just swam off.  We looked ate eachother and were just in shock.  It was the most brutal display of force I have evr seen. Nature is cruel at times but amazeing in the same breath.  Later I aske a biologist from the ADFG what was happen ing and they said that they think the whales were teaching the young tou hunt.  Funny thing was they never even tried to eat a single dolphin that I saw.  Just killed them and swam off.  Very cool thing to see probably one of a handful of people to ever see something like that.
