Baked Whale

Missy Wombat's Note:

This recipe comes from a Tongan cookbook I possess. I am in no way condoning commercial fishing of whale or even the 'scientific' fishing of whale popularised by some countries. However if for some reason you come across a dead whale that has died by more natural or unintentional means...here is what you do with it.

• Total Time: 5 hrs
• Prep Time: 4 hrs
• Cook Time: 1 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 2 lbs whale meat
• 1/4 cup oil
• 1/4 cup red wine
• 1 teaspoon peppercorn
• 1 cup salt
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 small onion, minced

Directions:

1. Combine the oil, vinegar, peppercorns, salt, garlic and onion.
2. Cut the whale into cubes or slices.
3. Marinate in the marinade for 2-3 hours.
4. Cover and place in a 300 deg F oven for 1 hour.

I don't think I could eat a whale- I mean something that sings and communicates? Nah- be like eatting dolphin or a chimpanzee- just ewwe and not right. Now perhaps this would work for seal... LOL... heaven knows there's enough in the harbors of the Pacific coast. Cute!
