Although many whalers bring back only oil, others are prepared to render all the byproducts, used chiefly for fertilizer and cattle meal. Thrifty Japanese treat a whale as thoroughly as they do a hog. The meat is sold in tins. In Tokyo, the tips of whale tails are considered the height of delicacy.
