Tried some Sea Lion a few years back. Wasnt too bad. Looked alot like Bear meat.
It had been eating Oolican for 2 weeks also. Which changes the taste
As a Director on the Board of the Pacific Balance Pinniped Society, I would suggest that FN's are not the only ones involved.
In fact, some of this country's leading Scientists have our back, as do the vast majority of FN's, commercial fishers, and more.
Sadly lacking are the recreational fishing sector (you can thank the SFI for that) and the hunting community.
As far as non-FN's hunting them...
We reached out to both the BCWF, and the GOABC and more in this regard.
Maybe it was due to the messenger, but we were ROYALLY snubbed by these entities.
We may (accent now on "may") reconsider another approach down the road.
Those that can, should. Want to make a difference? Like in all other matters dealing with the "management" of wild resources, the decisions are directed by those who show up.
Yep. It was a staple item when living in the Arctic.
Actually pretty damn good, once you know how to deal with it.
Our meetings with DFO yesterday went about as I figured they would. In fact a little more amicable than I thought they would be.
Some progress was made identifying a few areas that require a little more refining on both sides of the equation.
Those have now been identified, and steps are being taken by both parties to address them in a timely manner...
Onward & Upwards...

IronNoggin, thank you for your enrolment with important issues and for being a positive representative of the hunting community.
I wonder why BCWF and GOABC were silent? I see it as another indication that we are lacking proper representation.
I've never had seal but would love to try it.

Thanks for the info.
There is no difference to the pinniped problem & the land predator problem.
We all need to get onboard before it's too late.
IronNog for Prime Minister :)
Eating seal meat would certainly take some getting used to, pretty sure it would not taste like moose! But that is not to say that a guy could not develope a taste cor it, I certainly would approach it with an open mind. The good folk of Newfoundland love them, especially prized is the blood for making puddings. Sign me up!
