For the sake of argument, let's assume that harp seals and california sea lions provide similarly flavored meat. The last link implies that pinniped butchery doesn't yield well, which is kind of a bummer. Then again, a bull sea lion that weighs four hundred lbs would yield a grip of meat no matter how bad the yield. Even so, I don't know that anybody would want to go to the trouble of hunting a marine mammal, butchering it at sea, and not getting much for his troubles.

I'd eat it if it were possible. For sure. Curiosity would no doubt get the better.
