What does it taste like?

Going to Norway in the summer where whaling is still legal, thinking of trying some.

How do I cook it?

>What does it taste like?
A bit like beef.
>How do I cook it?
Get a restaurant to cook it for you.

/thread, anytime you're trying a new food in a new place you want a local to cook it first before you experiment, so you know how it's "supposed" to taste

So.i just walk into any restaurant and plonk my whale meat on the counter and ask them to cook it?

Isn't it still controversial to eat whale meat even for Norwegians (who still eat puffins and skate and sheep's head etc)

Hit up the Faroe Islands during a Grind, and you'll get all the whale you could ever want in one lifetime. Check out Heri Joensen's videos about it, he's a musician who defends and documents the tradition.

You are genuinely a subhuman. Eating whales should be punishable by death

Ate whale in japan and it’s not that good
Basically beef but with the bad parts of fishiness in it
I can see why people dont test this
Not so tasty

Tried it twice in Svalbard. It tastes a bit lite beef but more gamy and with a strange fishy flavour. 5/10 stick to salmon/beef.

I've had whale sushi in Japan. It has almost no flavor. Not as soft as fish like tuna or salmon. Not as sweet as shrimp. It's not bad, but very uninteresting. So the sushi chef usually puts green onion or daikon on top of the whale meat to give it more flavor.
>>19289026
beefy and gamy, I think that's an apt description. Not as tough as beef, and not as gamy as something like lamb or duck, but yeah. It doesn't really taste like fish. Which makes sense because whales aren't fish, they're mammals.

>> No.19290064

most mammals are pretty fucking intelligent, dude.
We shit on chinks for eating dogs, yet pigs are 3 times as smart.

Duck isn't gamey at all
What is gamey even supposed to mean? Is it just a negative word for meaty tasting?

It's a characteristic of meats that have a wild diet
Depending on what they've been eating changes the flavor of the meat
Farm duck is not gamey, but wild duck is

It depends on what their diet is
If they've been eating plants and fruit it's nice, actually
If they've been eating fish and frogs, eh

Whale meat tastes like ASS. Do not eat whale meat. It's all fatty and gross.
