Two others at least I see regularly
Cod Fish and Dolphin Fish The dolphin I understand but COD?
I thought about the Cod application..... but it really seems that codfish is more commonly used, even as a single word. But usually in reference to the animal itself , not the state in which it is food... this is more commonly just called "cod"....
Dolphin fish is Dorado.... oh, but wait there is another South American fish called a dorado..... so that is another quandary, the whole plethora of common names game.
Dolphin mammals are actually Porpoises ..... calling them dolphins is another common name game ... only instead of inter-genus confusion, this one jumps over at the Family level.....
hmmm
