the yummy whale

A hungry evening in iceland, we were out looking for food..n we saw a BBQ stall selling sumthing looks yummy:>

MINKE WHALE!!! wah!! I was watching in interest, before i knew it, Fang Feng was already queuing in line:>
" But we are not suppose to eat extinct animal!! "I said..." But can I have a bite?"
Haha!! I am such a lier!! I love animal but i will never say no to yummy food especially something new..

whale meat looks so much like beef..
not only looks like one, it taste like one too!!! They make it medium rare, raw n juicy inside..i was expecting something like tuna or bit fishy..to my surprise, not at all!!!! we were like eating a piece of BBQ steak!!
And we were like" funny hor!!! it doesnt taste like fish at all!!!how come huh?"

Then the day after, we went whale watching( after the yummy meat, I must see them in my own eye:>)also puffin searching..

puffin season is almost over, so there is not much puffin left on the island. and our boat was abit far from the island, so i cant really see clearly..
we saw some restaurant selling puffin meat..but puffin doesn't looks/sounds like a eatable thing to me..n i read from book that they taste like calf liver!!eeeeee....Lucky we din try:>

anyway, is kinda fun going out to the sea to watch some puffin bird n whale..
the guide will shout:" 3 oclock, 3 oclock, look at the beautiful humpback..." and everyone will rush to the 3 oclock direction, n there the amazing whale, surfaced for the first time, second time, third time, four time, and the the fifth time, it will show its tail n went for a deeper dive, for good few minutes before it surface again..

But taking photos for whale is worse than Geysir..u will never know where n when there r gonna surfaced..u have to stand by spare camera's batteries..
but we were quite lucky ..we were expecting to see minke whales, cos it's the most common species around iceland, but instead we came across a few Humpback whale..

Guess all the minke whale was BBQed by icelander already..haha..

Then day after Fang Feng remember what the tour guide told us-

WHALE IS NOT A FISH!!!! WHALE IS A MAMMAL!!!

Hei!! We are not stupid ok!!!Everyone knew that whale is a mammal:> Biggest mammal in the world!!!

But the fact that it lives in the sea, I still cant help thinking that it is a fish( a mammal fish haha..)

AND THATS EXPLAIN Y THE WHALE MEAT TASTE LIKE BEEF!!!! BECOS THEY R NOT FISH!!!!!!
