>Most Inuit prefer to eat muktuk raw, as it has tender-crisp texture and >tastes like fresh coconut. I had Beluga muktuk once. The folks in the village where we were staying were following the tradition of sharing the first killed whale of the year with all in the community. I seem to remember it as being rich and oily, like marinated mushrooms. It was almost off-puttingly greasy in the warm weather, but I bet it'd be just the ticket after the semi-famine of a winter when food stores ran low, or in colder weather when your appetite for fats goes up, so that even knawing on a stick of butter does not seem unreasonable.
