Snapshots from Iceland: Grilled Whale from Saegreifinn

I actually had some very poor tasting whale at Saegreifinn, oily and dry, just foul.
I buy my whale at the Kolaportid flea market, it's cheap and tastes fantastic. I tend to eat it raw, sashimi style with soy and wasabi.

The taste is like Robyn says, beefy with a hint of sea, if that makes any sense. But that's only when it's fresh, it tastes like steak dipped in cod liver oil however if it's not fresh.
