[Source] Gihaal was a dried fishmeal mixture, its name drawn simply from the word for "fishmeal" in the Mandalorian language of Mando'a. Prepared from raw, freshly gutted fish, the meat was smoked and dried before being packaged into sealed containers for preservation. Richly nourishing, gihaal provided a combination of fat and protein, and could remain edible for years without the need for refrigeration. Because of these traits, gihaal became a staple in Mandalorian field rations, though its pungently unpleasant odor was off-putting to many Mandalorian soldiers.

  • [Source] Gihaal was a dried fishmeal mixture, its name drawn simply from the word for "fishmeal" in the Mandalorian language of Mando'a. Prepared from raw, freshly gutted fish, the meat was smoked and dried before being packaged into sealed containers for preservation. Richly nourishing, gihaal provided a combination of fat and protein, and could remain edible for years without the need for refrigeration. Because of these traits, gihaal became a staple in Mandalorian field rations, though its pungently unpleasant odor was off-putting to many Mandalorian soldiers. The Mandalorian Jun Hokan enjoyed gihaal, and during a mission to the planet Mes Cavoli in 72 BBY, Hokan ate gihaal shavings he carved from a larger chunk with a vibroblade, in the same manner in which many other individuals ate fruit. After his dealings with the Kaminoan cloners of the Grand Army of the Republic, the Cuy'val Dar clone commando training sergeant Kal Skirata took to pejoratively referring to the ancestrally aquatic Kaminoans as gihaal. This habit spread among a number of other Mandalorian Cuy'val Dar sergeants, as well as their commando trainees. Following the rise of the Galactic Empire in 19 BBY, and in celebration of the arrival of spring in the north of Mandalore—the cultural homeworld of the Mandalorian people, located in the galaxy's Outer Rim—the members of Clan Skirata prepared a large meal that included portions of preserved gihaal.
