No blubber, but I had seal the other night for dinner. A Tlingit friend of mine had invited me over for dinner - seal and herring eggs dipped in seal oil. Seal STINKS, but tastes OK, it reminded me of the flavor of liver. I'm personally VERY happy that I don't have to exist (it's not called subsistence living without reason!) on a diet of seal, walrus, and whale.
