Hunting and eating dolphins has been illegal here since the 90s so I doubt it. 갈매기살 isn't seagull meat either, it's beef. Meat names here are a bit weird that way.

Perhaps it is Mahi-Mahi Dolphin fish. It is delicious.

Wow...sounds like those neat restaurants in other asian countries that serve Shark fin soup.....

Or the massive whale hunting industry that is disguised as 'scientific work' in Japan!

As for Dolphin meat....that is pretty weird.....

as Quinella said, the most likely answer is that it is just the name of the restaurant and is a normal hwe jip

They probably serve tuna. Dolphins are often seen (and sometimes caught in the nets) with tuna.

"If dolphins are so smart, why do they live in igloos?"


"Dude, dolphins are intelligent and friendly."
"Intelligent and friendly on rye bread with some mayonaise."
