Whale cutlets?


That's what I spotted in Mama no mise (Mama's Store, my favorite local supermarket) today. They were in the osozai section with the other prepared foods. Quite cheap, only 160 yen for four, probably about 100 grams (3 1/2 ounces) each. I haven't noticed them there before so I assume it's fairly unusual. Of course, based on what I've read, they could be porpoise instead of whale since the term kujira is sometimes used for small cetaceans, but I wasn't about to buy and have it tested to find out.
