Whaling for Food
This book gives us information on a topic that many people may be
unfamiliar with today: whaling and food. The unfamiliarity stems from the
fact that for many people whale meat is not available in stores, on restaurant
menus, or spoken about at home. It is not part of most peoples’ food
culture. Yet for some people, whale products are part of their customary diet,
part of their national cuisine, and as such do contribute importantly to the
health and well being of members of those societies. This book contains numerous
recipes and photos that illustrate the importance of whales as a source of
food.

Whaling Around the World
Since time immemorial, people have looked to the sea for sustenance, and in
the process have defined themselves in terms of culture, nutritional needs,
and economies. Perhaps no fishery has done so more, or with such variety and
richness of tradition, as whaling.
Lavish illustrations capture the extraordinary variety of practices and techniques associated with modern whaling, from the skin boats of Greenland, unchanged for centuries, to the diesel-powered fishing boats plying the waters of northern Norway. Just as rich in variety are the methods for preparing whale meat, and the art forms crafted from by-products.
Whaling Around the World will appeal to an audience as diverse as the whalers themselves. But perhaps most of all, it will fill with awe those people who have yet to discover the rich and timeless pageant of one of our oldest fisheries.
