Muktuk (beluga)
The traditional food of Arctic peoples. The skin is finely sliced and eaten raw, while the meat can be dried or cooked. Turns out it is a good source of Vitamins C and D. However, with ocean pollution, heavy metals such as mercury are now found as bioaccumulated contaminants in the blubber.
