I've always wondered...
what a penguin tastes like.

No reason, just always wondered.

I bet they are delicious

Well, they're birds, right?
So I always thought they'd taste a little chicken-like, but they look like they'd taste more of red meat, don't they?

I imagine it's some sort of mix. Like when you use half a pound of ground chicken and half a pound of ground beef in a recipe.

But would all of the fish they eat add a bit of fish flavor?

Fish
or, perhaps, chips.

I had raw ostrich once
Ostrich Jerky, in fact. It was salty. And had feathers in it.

Tastes
chocolatey.

Sainsburys do their own ones, half the price, taste exactly the same.

I think they will be fatty like duck.
I also suspect they'll have a slight fishy aftertaste as whale does. They could even be very salty or urea-y or Iodene-y or something, perhaps due to osmotic pressure of saltwqter and often no access to fresh water.

gamey, fishy
and with a strong irony aftertaste, i believe.

I've always wondered what irony tastes like -

I met a chap once who claimed to have eaten one.
Oily and fishy apparently. Not a fantastic flavour.

If they were delicious there wouldn't be quite so many left.

I'd like to try a tasty panda steak - the useless, resource sucking black and white bastards.
