Whale Meat Again is the second studio album by the British musician Jim Capaldi.

It was released by Island Records in 1974. Like his first solo album, it failed commercially in his native United Kingdom but did better in the USA. With help from the hit opening track "It's All Right", which spent seven weeks in the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at number 55,[1] the album reached number 191 in the Billboard 200.[2]
