WHALE STEAKS

Steps:

• To prepare a fresh whale steak for cooking, wash it in a solution of 1 generous tablespoon baking soda to 1 quart water and let it soak for 1 hour. Rinse the meat and marinate it for 2 hours in 3 parts water and 1 part vinegar, with a sliced raw onion. Cut the steak across the grain in slices less than 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle the slices with lemon juice and pound them with a mallet to tenderize them. Sauté the steaks as you would sliced beefsteak.
• To use frozen whale meat (and you are more likely to catch it frozen), thaw the meat entirely before washing and marinating it. Braise, stew, or sauté it as you would beef.
