Seal meat
Meat harvested from seal as a country food in northern communities.
About Seal meat
Seal meat is edible flesh from a seal, prepared as food in some northern communities. Its appearance and texture depend on the animal, cut and handling; the flavour is distinctive and can vary with species, diet and preparation.
It may be eaten fresh or preserved and cooked in ways shaped by local food traditions. The term covers different cuts and preparations rather than a single standardized product. Without further details, it is not possible to infer the seal species, cut, or whether the meat is raw, cooked, dried or otherwise preserved.
