Turtle - the other red meat

We had two guests from New York for dinner and we wanted to make lobster. 
A guy on the beach introduced himself as the lobsterman Garry and gave me his cell phone number in case I need some. He also asked for a donation now for the lobster I might order later so I wasn't convinced. 

But there is always our wonderful housekeeper Jo who lives on the island forever so I asked her to get some
lobster.
She called 'the fisherman' on his cell and got us a great deal on two four-pounders for dinner. So when she arrived with the two wiggling lobsters the next day she told me that ' the fisherman' just came back this morning from an all nighter and we better boil it now to keep it fresh. 

And that 'the fisherman' is specialized in lobster and turtle. Which he also brought back this morning but Jo doesn't eat because she wants to cut back on red meat. 
I trying to make the point that eating turtles is maybe not a good idea in general as they are an endagered species and it not very well regarded where I come from. Just like eating Dolphins and Whales. 
To which she replied that she has two packs of Whale frozen and thinking of having it tomorrow for lunch as it is healthier than turtle.
