Description
Summary:flipper Many of the poorer members of the community may be seen carrying bunches of black and bloody flippers wherewith to prepare a luxurious family repast, and in the gurgling brooklets these ensanguined morsels are spread out to be cleansed before being cooked. .the poorer Newfoundlanders esteem seal's flippers a delicacy. The meat though dark, is certainly tender, but to my uninitiated palate in taste it resembled the very fishiest of wild duck steeped in train oil. .When the seal is first killed the oily flavour, so unpleasant to most people, is said to be absent.
