Whale fat is used in oil, so is dolphin fat. Dolphin and whale meat are both sold in tins, the fins are used to make soup and the organs can be used for research. Whale skin can be made into upholstery.

After whales are killed, their fat (blubber) is used as fuel. Ambergris from their digestive tracts may be used in perfumes, but some perfumes today use synthetic ambergris.
