dead whale beached on tinnaberna co wexford

A sad sight to see such a magnificant beast wasting like that?
Any update?

it was cut up and taken to waterford i think

What was it taken away for, to be cremated or to be studied?

Bait! You know how big the fish in Waterford are!

I'd bet whale is an excellent bait.

It is after all a very oily fish, like cod,mack and tuna.

Cod is full of omega 3. It's a very oily fish. That's why we have cod liver oil.

Omega 3 is a fatty acid. Whitefish (eg cod) store oil in their liver. Oily fish (eg mackeral) also store it in their flesh.

Ah ok. Cheers JD.

But I would still think whale would have a fair bit of oil in their flesh.
