Whale Recipes

Grilled Whale

C.C., South Africa

For 4 servings:
800 g whale in 1 cm thick slices
1 red onion
½ squash
1 yellow pepper
2 tomatoes
melted butter for basting

Cut the meat into slices about 1-2 cm thick.

Baste with melted butter and grill the meat 2-3 minutes on each side.

Use your fingers to test if the meat is cooked. Raw meat is squashy, medium done is a little firmer, and well-done is firm.

Remove the whale steaks from the grill while still a little squashy, it will continue to cook itself and is juicy and tender while still a little red in the middle. Whalemeat can quickly get dry if it cooks too long, so good heat and short cooking time are important.
