Butchers Eye Whale Steak Prospect In San Francisco
In San Francisco the prospect of selling whale steak to replace beef is raised as whalers report large catches may soon reach the market pending health and price office approvals. A single 30 foot whale tenderloin is noted, while a fin back could yield about 15 tons of meat. The season could produce 150 whales or 1,500 tons of meat, with Grigg claiming meat resembles beef and noting varied taste.
