Whale watching off Reykjavík

Walhack from the minke whale

Ingredients

800 g whale meat
200 g oat flakes
100 g wheat flour
2 eggs
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper


Preparation

Chop the whale meat finely.

Then put the chopped meat in a bowl with the oat flakes, flour, eggs, baking powder and salt and pepper...

...and mix everything thoroughly...

...and shape meatballs out of the dough with your hands - the mixture makes about 6 to 8 meatballs.

Heat some oil in a pan and fry the whale meatballs for about 5 minutes on both sides.

Then keep warm in the oven at 175 °F (80 °C) and cook a little more.

Traditionally, these meatballs are served with potatoes and brown sauce.


The whale meatballs
but are also very suitable for whale burgers:


Ingredients per serving:

1 bun
1 Tbsp sweet mustard
1 Tbsp ketchup
1/4 onion
1/2 tomato
1 leaf of lettuce


Preparation

Mix the mustard and ketchup into a sauce, chop the onion and stir it in and spread the sauce on both halves of the roll.

Cover the bottom half of the roll with the salad and place the whale meatball on top.

Place half the tomato on the meatball, fold the top half of the bun closed and secure everything with a wooden skewer.

PS: For obvious reasons, I didn't use whale meat for this recipe, but instead replaced the mince with 2/3 beef and 1/3 beef liver. :-)
