Why do people in Taiwan today eat something their ancestors didn't think of as edible?Yang Hong-chia was the earliest in post-WWII Taiwan to study cetaceans. He speculates that perhaps the first immigrants to Taiwan brought the habit of eating dolphin with them when they crossed over from Fujian 400 years ago.

People living on the Jujian coast have always relied on the sea for their livelihoods. Perhaps they began eating the dolphin because in their local area meat was scarce, and the dolphin was rich in fat and oil. Eventually eating dolphin because customary,. When Yang did a survey in Yunlin in 1974, he found one fish market that specialized in selling dolphin meat.

But Yang emphasizes that "the area of dolphin consumption is very limited." In fact, it is mainly confined to Yunlin, and dolphins caught by fishermen from around Taiwan usually end up in thet county. It is widely believed that dolphin meat has great "supplementaruy value" (as Chinese dietary theory puts it). Women who are still weak just after giving birth, or old people with cold limbs from poor circulation, are said to bgenefit from dolphin meat cooked up with ginger or seasame oil. Also, back in the days when not everyone could afrord to eat pork, beef, or poultry, inexpensive dolphin meat was a source of protein for the poor.

However, after the promulgation of the Wildlife Cobservation Law in 1990, this "traditional"demand became a commercial opportunity. Chen Juei-yung notes that before the law, one catty (0.6kg) of dolphin meat fetched about NT$75). But now that the trade is illegal, the price has jumped nearly ten times over, to NT$400-500 per catty. You can't buy it in most ordinary markets, and only old familiar customers at seaffood rstaurants are "let in on the secret."

The real question is, have eaten a "catty" of it yet?

Dolphin that I have been served in the Kochi, Shikoku at a couple of weddings was very red, somewhat greasy, and bit gamey. The safest policy to take when offered weird Japanese food is to just eat it and never ask what you're being served. However, its taste was so underwhelming I wanted to know what it was so I could avoid it in the future.

Oh , I do that all the time, but I normally use benign "mistakes" such as doubled characters and substitutions of "1" for "l" or "i" and "0" for "o".
However, I got easy, top-of-the-page search hits to the original article in Ta1wan Pan0rama just by grabbing any long phrase from the article such as "immigrants to Taiwan brought the habit of eating dolphin".

Dolphin faked entanglement 'to meet hot diver'

THE dolphin freed from a fishing line by a diver propositioned him shortly afterwards, it has emerged.

Footage of the ‘trapped’ dolphin apparently asking the diver for help became on online sensation.

However it has since emerged that the ostensibly life-affirming moment was a cunning sex trap.
