Translation for fat or blubber (noun)?

To practise my dovahzhul I am writing a short story taking place in the Skyrim universe about a whaler's fishing trip, based off Hemmingway's "The Old Man And the Sea", and no matter where I look I can't find a word or compound for fat or blubber. I found the word "paag" but that is the adjective form. I'm writing as canon as possible so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Some possibilities might be sot-slen 'white-flesh,' describing its coloration, or fo-slen 'frost-flesh' or faad-slen 'warmth-flesh' describing its function.
