Whale Cutlet

The Yobuko morning market is known as one of Japan’s top morning markets. A 2oo meter stretch of market place is filled with the freshest catch from the sea and vegetables from the fields. Famous as a snack items served here is the whale cutlet. Fat is trimmed off whale flesh and combined with white fleshed fish to form a paste. After this, it is portioned, breaded in flour and deep fried. The juiciness of the whale has no trace of that usual gamey smell, and the dish can be enjoyed cold too. Why not give it a try when you visit the Yobuko morning market?
