The wife said the raw fish restaurant across the street served us cold whale meat as a side dish a couple months ago. As Gerry says, it did indeed taste like pot roast - very tasty.

Aren’t the Japanese afraid of mad whale disease?

I was fortunate enough to have had whale meat in Japan in 1968. While most Americans would think of blubber or the fat surounding the whale, it is the meat that is most prized. It looks like,(important) and tastes like, the most delicious tender roast beef you have ever had. (No, it doesn’t taste like chicken). It melts in your mouth with a nice beefy texture reminisant of a well cooked pot roast. Its really too bad we can’t get the Vietnamese to artificially grow them in local ponds the way they do shrimp.
