Specific information is lacking. But the frequency of feeding definitely depends upon the season. In the summer, narwhals feed in shallower waters. They typically prey on fishes that dwell in the uppermost, sunlit zone of the ocean. They dive less deeply. There's enough dissolved oxygen in the water that they can stay down for longer periods of time. In fact, they're known to stay down for as long as almost a half hour at a time. In the winter, narwhals feed in deeper waters. They typically prey on fishes that dwell in the middle, dimly lit zone of the ocean. They dive much deeper than in summer. There's much, much less dissolved oxygen in the middle zone of cold temperatures and high pressure. So narwhals may dive more than 15 times a day for their food.
Narwhals feed primarily on fish and squid, consuming about 3-5% of their body weight daily. They are opportunistic feeders and may adjust their feeding patterns based on food availability and seasonal changes in prey distribution. Typically, narwhals will eat several times a day.

How do narwhals get food and air?
Just like all whales, Narwhals come out of the water to breathe. Scientists are unsure of what they consume, as they eat at great depths below the surface of the water. By cutting open Narwhals, scientists believe they mainly eat fish, shrimp and squid. I hope this has been helpful :)
