Tom, if word gets out, the GreenPeace types will have to fight for a place in line. Muktuk is so popular with some people they'll get tromped but good.

Muktuk is the outer covering of the whale. It includes the white skin, approximately 1-2 inches (2 1/2 - 5cm) thick, plus a thin pinkish layer immediately underneath. After taking blocks from the whale, leave 2 days hanging to dry. Cut into pieces 6 x 6 inches (15x15cm). Have water ready to boil. Cook untilit tests tender when pierced with a fork. Keep in oil in a 45 gallon (206 litre) drum after it is cooled. Store in a cool place and you will have muktuk all year. Most Inuit prefer to eat muktuk raw, as it has tender-crisp texture and tastes like fresh coconut

Had to have a pro in to clean out my beaver Tom, they were wrecking the place. Maybe the beaver house up river will move in. If they do, I'll let you know!
