Surfing google always get you good info. Taken from: http://quest.arc.nasa.gov/antarctica/QA/animals/Penguin_Survival ******************** FOOD FOR HUMANS? ******************** __________ QUESTION: Can you eat penguins? What do they taste like? ANSWER from Polly Penhale on January 12, 1995 Penguins are an excellent food source for many animals in Antarctica, such as leopard seals and killer whales, but people shouldn't eat them! Under the Antarctic Treaty, birds and mammals are protected. The United States passed a law called the Antarctic Conservation Act, which prohibits U.S. citizens from harming birds such as penguins. As for taste, my guess is that they would taste oily and fishy, as their diet consists of krill, which are shrimp-like animals in the ocean. ANSWER from Michael Castellini on January 13, 1995 The only examples I know of where humans ate penguins were in some of the early explorations of the Antarctic. Since there are also penguins in Africa, South America, New Zealand and other warmer places, it is possible that people who lived there ate these birds at some point. I don't know anyone who has tasted penguin, but I would think that it would taste like fish, not chicken! Since these birds eat fish, squid and krill, their meat would probably have lots of marine oils and taste to it! /hjorth
