Best 5 Alaskan Whale Stew Recipes

HAWAIIAN STEW

Steps:

• In a large stock pot, layer ground beef, green beans, onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes. Finish with a layer of cabbage, then evenly drizzle soy sauce over top. Cover and cook over medium for 1 hour, or until cabbage is tender and meat is well done. Reduce heat as needed to prevent burning.
• Meanwhile, rinse rice in a fine mesh strainer under cold running water until no longer cloudy. Transfer to a medium saucepan and cover with 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes, remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes, or until all liquid has evaporated. Serve over rice.

ALASKAN WHALE STEW

Steps:

• Mix ingredients (except eggs) in an Olympic size pool filled with non-chlorinated water.
• Heat to boiling.
• Simmer 2 to 3 weeks, or until tender.
• If it appears that the stew may not serve the entire group, add snowshoe rabbit. This requires caution, however, as some people dislike hare in their food.

AFRICAN FISH STEW

Steps:

• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add seafood stock and tomato paste. Add bok choy, garlic, gumbo file, salt, pepper, and saffron; cook and stir until well incorporated, about 5 minutes. Add tilapia. Let simmer until flavors blend and fish flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.

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.
