I’ve eaten whale meat. It is like the best steak imaginable.
Have you eaten the meat or the blubber? I found a piece of blubber on the beach in Barrow, AK in June one year after a whale was harvested. It was an 8” cube and had the skin on one side. The blubber was white and looked kind of like rubber with a similar consistency - not at all like any other mammal fat I’ve ever seen.
After laying on the beach for who knows how long it did not have a very appetizing aroma.
