How To Cook Whale Meat Recipes

BAKED WHALE

Steps:

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

WHALE STEAKS

Steps:

• To prepare a fresh whale steak for cooking, wash it in a solution of 1 generous tablespoon baking soda to 1 quart water and let it soak for 1 hour. Rinse the meat and marinate it for 2 hours in 3 parts water and 1 part vinegar, with a sliced raw onion. Cut the steak across the grain in slices less than 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle the slices with lemon juice and pound them with a mallet to tenderize them. Sauté the steaks as you would sliced beefsteak.
• To use frozen whale meat (and you are more likely to catch it frozen), thaw the meat entirely before washing and marinating it. Braise, stew, or sauté it as you would beef.

ALASKAN WHALE STEW

Steps:

• Mix ingredients (except eggs) in an Olympic size pool filled with non-chlorinated water.
• Heat to boiling.
• Simmer 2 to 3 weeks, or until tender.
• If it appears that the stew may not serve the entire group, add snowshoe rabbit. This requires caution, however, as some people dislike hare in their food.

101 "WHALER" FISH SANDWICH

Steps:

• 1. In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs. In another medium-size bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, and parsley.
• 2. Season the fish with the salt and pepper.
• 3. Dredge the fish through the egg mixture, then coat it thoroughly with the flour mixture.
• 4. In a large sauté pan, immediately heat the oil over medium-high heat. When it is hot but not smoking, add the fillets to the pan. Cook on one side until the batter is light golden brown, about 4 minutes. Carefully turn the fillets and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more. Using a slotted spatula, remove them from the pan and drain on paper towels.
• 5. Meanwhile, whisk together the tartar-sauce ingredients (if using).
• 6. Slice the buns and spread the tartar sauce (if using) on the insides. Place a fillet on each bottom bun, then top with the lettuce, tomato, and cheese, if desired.
