Produit de consommation humaine à base de viande de baleines.

OBS

Comme le prévoit la Convention internationale pour la règlementation de la chasse à la baleine, les produits des baleines chassées sont vendus sur le marché local. Toutefois, ces produits trouvent peu de preneurs et souvent la viande est vendue à bas prix ou distribuée gratuitement dans certains établissements comme les cantines scolaires et les maisons de retraite.
