Chris' Corner of Culinary Delights: Whale

9/10/2013

Icelanders are known for many things, chief among them, their healthy appetite for some of earths most adorable creatures.  Here are a but a few:

This little guy is an Icelandic staple. Eva would not forgive me if I tried it.

Another of Eva's favorite animals, regularly featured on Icelandic dinner tables.
Puffin and pony were too bold a leap for us to make, so instead we decided to start small with earth's largest animal - whale.
Picture
This is a minke whale. As we are only novice scuba divers thus far, we had to resort to a Google search for the above image.
Minke whale is widely available in Reykjavik restaurants.  We had a really great seafood dinner in Iceland, anchored by the dish shown below.
Picture
The whale was blackened outside and raw inside.  It was served with potatoes, mini corn on the cobs, corn meal puree and some random pieces of popcorn.  The combination worked very well.  The meat was red, akin to a fresh tuna steak, but with a totally different taste.  It was unlike anything we'd eaten before.  But it was sensational.  If you find yourself in Iceland (or Japan, where I hear it's also available), definitely give it a try.
