It was okay, rather reminiscent of horse meat moreso than beef. I
wouldn't make a habit of it but the Japanese kill a lot of whales each
year under the guise of "scientific research" and those whales end up at
the meat/fish market or canned.

One thing I don't eat is herring in any manner, never did like the
stuff. My Dutch friends loved raw herring with onion. Coming from the
Gulf Coast where fish are often wormy I never eat raw fish of any sort.
Of course I don't eat raw meat of any kind either. If were meant to eat
raw meat we wouldn't have learned to use fire IMHO.
