I was about to reply to your posting, does Whale meathave any special healing capabilities?

Well the people in these Artic regions are actuallydependant on Whale meat as part of their survival as in Artic regions plantgrown is minimal if not non-existent so  thepeople, the ‘Inuit People’ believe that the diet of mainly whale and seal isvery beneficial for the human body, finding a great source of Vitamin A,C and Dfrom whale meat and also omega 3’s and the high fat content of, mainly raw orcured food results in these people generally having warmer core temperaturesand more energy but apart from that I cannot seem to find and hard evidence ormedical fact that would make eating whale meat beneficial to us. 

Possibly thesepeople are warmer in these sub-zero conditions as they have a high body fatcontent from such a narrow diet?

So in answer to your question, I think the answer is no,although whales would have similar health attributes found in most other fishsuch as salmon, mackerel and cod. Whales would just have much more vitamins andminerals due to their great size.

What part of Japan were you in and would you be a fan of seafood generally?
