Dolphins were skinned, flying fish were deboned, greasy poles were conquered, trays were carefully balanced and fish cakes were devoured.

The excitement peaked on the third and final day of the Flow Oistins Fish Festival as the main competitions took place.

The other main event, the dolphin (mahi mahi) skinning competition, was over in a few minutes as the man nicknamed after the fish, Tyrone “Dolphin” Shorey, put on yet another clinical showing.
