What does Whale Taste Like?

Due to the fact that Whales and Dolphins are Mammals yet look like Giant fish I've often wondered whether they have a Mammaly taste such as Cow or Pig or a Fishy taste?

(FYI I know they are a endangered and I wouldn't want to really eat one, Im just Curious due to the Mixed nature of the animals.)

    "Because it is a mammal, whale meat is not like fish, but more a very gamey version of beef, or even venison. 'The taste is different from beef. Whale meat is more tender than beef, and it's more easy to digest,' said Mrs Ohnishi, insisting it has other benefits. 'Whale meat is quite healthy - high in protein and polyunsaturated fatty acids.' Red whale meat has more protein than beef, and is a good source of iron and is rich in niacin. Children with food intolerances are often given it, because it doesn't cause allergic reactions."

    The source has more details and serving suggestions. I agree with you and I'm not endorsing it, but you made me curious and I wanted to find a real answer. I personally wonder what human flesh tastes like (like pork, supposedly). Just like whale, I'll never eat it, but it's natural to be curious.

    It's greasy and a lot like fish. The taste is determined more by the food the whale eats than by its taxonomic relationships.

    Or, to quote the punch line of an old joke, "It's a lot like spotted owl."

    I in no way knew that human beings the position ingesting whale milk. i do not recognize if i might want to ever drink it. I dislike any variety of milk. on condition that it is in ice-cream, cheese, cakes etc. For i will't style the milk even as it isn't any longer in liquid form.

    Whale meat is comparable with Horse meat, kind of like a dense and sweet beef.
