Been able to get any info about whale meat supplies in Japan. How about Brazil, Argentina and the Emirites.

From the WAPO link below:

The price for whale meat in Japan has decreased in recent years -- falling to $12 a pound in 2004 compared with $15 a pound in 1999.

Twelve bucks a pound is NOT expensive when a plate of spaghetti at a reasonably nice restaurant is $15.00.

This is from the Tokyo Times in 2006

The process highlights what anti-whaling activists call a glut of whale meat. But Japan is set to unveil a plan next week to almost double "scientific whaling" of Antarctic minke whales, from 440 to more than 850, and undertake fresh kills of humpback and fin whales for the first time in decades, according to diplomats familiar with the proposal.
