Can I legally import a whale steak from Norway to the United States? If so, where can I order one?
Question by arwdude: Can I legally import a whale steak from Norway to the United States? If so, where can I order one?
I’d like to order one over the internet, but Amazon.com gourmet foods doesn’t carry them. Since they can hunt whales in Norway, I want to try some. I was recently in Norway on vacation, and I’d rather not have to go the whole way back to Norway just to try one.
And no, I don’t have any qualms about someone killing a whale for food. I don’t see any moral difference between eating a Red Angus cow or a Minke whale.

I don’t believe so, because it has to go through customs and I don’t believe that you can do that with food.

I don’t know the answer, but it is a cool thing to try to pursue. Good luck – hope it’s tasty!
I bet that’s a freakin’ huge steak!
The whale population is dwindling, with negative implications for the ocean’s ecosystem, so I wouldn’t consider eating whale meat the same as Angus steak.
No, you can not. Norway foes not allow export of whale meat, exept for buissnesses with a valid export license. To get a valid licence the purpose of the export has to be scientific study of the samples, and a valid import license in the recieving country.
