Sorry family, ate some whale.  It wasn't the first time I did it too.  I had some kind of whale katsu before and it was ok.  I got this after visiting the Kouchi (Shikoku) museum where they proudly displayed dioramas of whales being slaughtered by the locals.  It was already dead so I went for it.  The taste, well, is ok.  It's hard to tell if it was the marinate that was used or its just how whale tastes.  either way, we dont need to be killing them for food now-a-days.  It was a little gamey tasting with not a fishy taste, but an ocean taste with a hint of the dry docks.

The packaging lost points just because of the stiff competition out there from other jerky heavy hitters.  A fan on the plate might work well in a restaurant, but for jerky in a bag I want it jumping through fire riding a bull and kicking the shit out of Greenpeace with pierced nipples.  Just sayin.
