GP work is great, but there is some serious work to be done in Japan too, where you can get whale pretty much anywhere near a coast (even in places that are not known to be 'traditional whaling harbours' (...)) and god knows pretty much anywhere in Japan is near a coast...
I take the risk to be seriously flamed (???), but a few weeks ago I went to Kochi prefecture (south of Shikoku Island) where they have whale food in almost any small food joint. I gave it a try and it is actually very good. No wonder they are not willing to stop selling it...
