The Pittsburgh Steelers are chasing their first Super Bowl in almost a decade, and one local restaurant has gone to some strange lengths to cheer them on.
Primanti Bros, a Pennsylvania institution famous for its sandwiches, wants the Steelers to keep their playoff dream alive against the Miami Dolphins.
They’re so supportive of their neighbours that, in a show of solidarity, they have decided to remove all fish sandwiches from the menu until after the game.
To help support the @steelers, popular Pittsburgh restaurant @primantibros, won't be serving fish all weekend. #NoFishFriday pic.twitter.com/PMKVn7An1S

That means no fish and cheese, no sardine and cheese, no tuna fish and cheese, and no colossal fish and cheese. Yes, these are all genuine menu items at the restaurant.
Now, you might have noticed something. We know we have.
That’s right, while dolphins might be marine animals, they are absolutely not fish.
Could Primanti Bros have removed all mammal sandwiches? Perhaps, but ‘we’re not serving beef because it’s a mammal, like a dolphin’ doesn’t quite have the same ring to it.
And, of course, quite a few others noticed this discrepancy too.
@tricky_DICK94 @steelers @primantibros lol it would make more sense to only serve fish since dolphins are Mammals, not fish

Dolphins are mammals but what did we really expect from Pittsburghers

If the Steelers win their wildcard game against the Fish Dolphins then they will take on the Kansas City Chiefs. We can’t help but wonder what they would take off the menu ahead of that match-up.
