Here is the answer (there are two possible answers):
First, the more common answer is:
「いくら」 (fish roe)
This is because 「いくら」 is pronounced “ikura” and is “fish roe”, which is a possible topping on sushi.
But also 「いくら」 (ikura) is the Japanese for “What is the price?”
Another possible answer is:
「はまち」 (Yellowtail Tuna)
This is also a possible answer to the riddle because 「はまち」 is another possible sushi topping, and it’s pronounced hamachi which sounds similar (with a Japanese pronunciation) to the English phrase “How much?“
I kept getting ikura and iruka mixed up.

Haha!
“Dolphin” isn’t a good answer to this riddle.
