"So they bite the tail and suck the flesh out and leave the skin behind."
Mr Heath said the group’s swim crew also noticed the rapscallion dolphins tended to be more sexually active after eating blowfish.
"The swim crew seem to think that this a bit of an aphrodisiac, as the dolphins seem to be a bit ‘active’ after having a blow fish feast," he said.
"At times when blow fish spawn, the water can be filled with tiny baby blow fish and the dolphins love to eat these like popcorn.
"They don’t seem to have any issues with the poison in the baby blowfish, they eat them whole and it makes a popping sound."
