Well, the real question is this. Does whale taste pretty good?

MMMMM, Blue whale BBQ filet. Tastes a little like chicken (of the sea).

I've never tried it myself...and I don't know anyone who has...but imagine eating a steak from a cow that subsisted its whole life on fishy-smelling crustaceans.

Blech.

I'm still waiting for the chance to taste it.

I understand it's kind of like a fishy beef.

Whale tastes a little like Dolphin. If cooked in a chowder, it resembles a snail darter chowder, however.

Iceland's whaling commissioner told the BBC that up to two tonnes of minke whalemeat would be exported to the Faroe Islands.

"Do you have a leesance for your minke?"

Only two tons?? The average McDonalds goes through that much hamburger during a heavy lunch rush...

With all of the "homeless" around, yearning for a square meal, we oughta be looking into our own source of domestic whale meat, and avoid becoming dependent upon foreign blubber...

Fish would be improved by tasting a little more like beef. It all kind of tastes the same. Tuna and Salmon can be distinctive, but I guarantee that if you blindfolded me and made me eat a bite of grouper, Mahi Mahi, swordfish, and sea bass, I'd be hard pressed to tell the difference.

The Japanese seem to like it a good deal. I haven't been to Japan, but I'd sure try it if I went there.

It's very dark red meat.

For 4 servings:
800 g whale in 1 cm thick slices
1 red onion
½ squash
1 yellow pepper
2 tomatoes
melted butter for basting

Cut the meat into slices about 1-2 cm thick.
Baste with melted butter and grill the meat 2-3 minutes on each side.
Use your fingers to test if the meat is cooked. Raw meat is squashy, medium done is a little firmer, and well-done is firm.
Remove the whale steaks from the grill while still a little squashy, it will continue to cook itself and is juicy and tender while still a little red in the middle. Whalemeat can quickly get dry if it cooks too long, so good heat and short cooking time are important.

They say its delish.
