I don't think so. Ships were essential to the war, and could not be risked
in whaling. I faintly remember a 50s British cookbook with whale recipes,
quite surprising to me, but treated casually. By then it would have been an
import from Scandinavia, perhaps promoted as a protein source since times
were still so hard and rationing had continued after the war.
