In order for fish to be kosher it has to have scales and fins. Dolphins do not meet this requirement and therefore are not kosher.
If you take the approach that a dolphin is a mammal so therefore the rules about fish don't apply, mammals have to have split hooves and chew there cud so yet again, dolphins are not kosher.
