What does whale taste like?

When on Iceland recently I had a local speciality for dinner: Whale. Interesting experience.
When the waiter came with the food I first thought there’d been some mistake in the kitchen:
Whale?
I was expecting something fish-like and apparently got a steak. But whales are mammals, so they actually don’t taste like fish either. What did it taste like? Fairly similar to horse, I’d say.
What’s the strangest animal you’ve eaten?
PS: As far as I understand mink whale is not really endangered.
