Muktuk
I ate whale New Year's Eve, in the form of muktuk, which is the skin and blubber together. John-Adrian brought it from Nome. In general you cannot buy it, you can only trade it with a Native for another subsistence food. In his case he trades his smoked salmon for the stuff, which he loves. "I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner." I thought it was almost flavorless and tough to chew. Rubbery. His wife and daughters don't like it.
Three of the four liked Moxie when they tried it, though, so I guess we are even.
