...double-smoked bacon-wrapped seal loin in a port reduction...
Man, that’s sounds delicious - so close to lunch time !
I wonder if they also offer a seal club sandwich.
Does it taste like chicken? If so, why not serve chicken?
What does “seal” taste like? Fish? Chicken? Beef? Pork
?..............
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!........................
doesn’t seal meat have way too much fat for non-Inuit to digest successfully?
No, but they will give you a rolling pin at the table if you make a special request.

There’s a place for all of God’s creatures...right next to the mashed potatoes.
You are going to have to call a community of Inuit/Eskimos up in Alaska to find out.
I luv my seal coat....$4 at a garage sale...softer than velvet...amazing!!
LOL !!!
A seal walks into a bar. The bartender says “What’ll have?” The seal responds “Anything but a Canadian Club”
Canadian Club
I bet Sarah! could tell me!.........................
Anyone tried seal tartare yet?
Racism!
The polar bears will starve, how un-PETA like...../sarc/
Seal meat has been eaten by man for thousands of years. Only modern (Liberal) man seem to think that they are cute - therefor they should not be eaten. Somewhat like horse meat.
Oh right. Don’t forget Bambi and Thumper.
Keidi Klum could not be reached for comment.
whaddya know....some prominent people up there who are not playing for Team Canada that have a pair....
If someone could sneak that menu into any malibu restaurant it would be fun to time how long it takes them to pass out when they see it.
Chickens don't do well in the Arctic. They tend to freeze easily so locals have to make do with seal. BTW apparently seal meat does not taste like chicken. According to a quick google search:
“Seal has the texture of steak and tastes like mild beef liver.”
Tastes like liver? In that case, the Canadians can keep my share.
White coats nave not been harvested since 1987.
With a slightly fishy after taste. In Newfoundland Seal is braised i n pork fat and the stewed in a a little water , salt onions and flour. Served with boiled potatoes and greens. Really quite good.
Its also made into seal pie and cooked the same way one would any meat pie.
Just as a guess, I would say it taste like seal.
Of course they eat seal in the north. You know what the natives say......vegetarian is an old Indian word meaning lousy hunter?
From the kind of fish they eat I would think seal meat would be better served as dog or cat food!!!
“Let’s go clubbing!”
And the enviros you said it to thought you were talking about the strip club!
“Tastes like liver? In that case, the Canadians can keep my share.”
I won’t eat it either!
When I was a kid I would go by the butcher shop on the way home from school and get liver from the butcher for free for cart food, it wasn’t considered fit for human consumption!
Yum!
