Its quite chewie, and can taste of oil if not properly handled. It is of a large wild predator living in human polluted waters and therefore is full of heavy metals.

In general it’s not worth it and one shouldn’t go out of ones way to consume this.

I had a whale steak in a restaurant in Bergen, Norway and it was excellent. Very tender and succulent with a wonderfully rich flavour.

Well worth seeking out.

I have eaten whale meat in Japan and in Iceland. It was interesting, although I did feel a bit sorry to have consumed it because I think whales are beautiful creatures!
