To make whale meal on an industrial scale, whale meat was heated under steam pressure to release the oil, which was the primary product of the industry, and during the process the tissues were broken down into a slurry. After the oil has been centrifuged off, the solid material that remained was dried, ground and sold as whale meal.

Domaine(s)

DEF

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.
