A London bar has been raided by police for allegedly serving cocktails flavoured with illegal whale skin.
The Metropolitan police targeted the Nightjar bar in Hoxton, East London, where a drink called the Moby Dick was listed in an online menu.
It was described as containing Laphroaig whisky, Drambuie, ale and bitters, along with a "whale skin infusion".
There is a Europe-wide ban on the sale of whale meat and products, except under strict restrictions in Greenland and Denmark.
Police were tipped-off in October that the bar was serving whale skin illegally, and raided the City Road premises on December 3.
It was carried out by officers from the Met's Wildlife Crime Unit and an officer from the United Kingdom Border Force.
"One item from the premises was seized," said a police spokesman. "This has been sent for analysis."
No arrests have been made.
No-one from the bar was available for comment, however the Sunday Times reported that the bar's management was unaware the drink may have contained an illegal ingredient until the raid.
