Relative from the coast sent us something fresh.


We were almost out and the wife was getting worried.


It will fill the 5 gallon bucket.








I will spare you all by not showing the other pics.

Ok. What do you do with said oil?

Blubber, at least that is what I imagine it tastes like.

You can



Drink it

eat it

use it as lamp oil

gun oil

lube for other mechanical things-but they will smell





All this after getting rendered down from the fat.

I would be interested in seeing more pics.

I am truly interested and hope that you will photographically elaborate.  We have few whales around here, but Manatees and Dolphins  are abundant.

You might as well put them up, after seeing chickenhead soup with the feet things couldn't be much worse.

Okay the fat is cut up and will render in the bucket for awhile.





Here's is what it came from.

Sadly i do not know how to cure/tan the hide.


One of these years i need to get down to the coast and get one plus a walrus.

Is that a seal?

What do you do - I guess there's a thick layer of fat on the whole critter and you skin it and remove the fat and......what happens to the rest?

I have to say you post the healthiest and most interesting food on the site by far.

Yes it's a seal.



You try and be careful cutting the fat away from the meat/fur.

Although some like their seal oil bloody and fermented a bit.



Eat the rest of it.

Some of the food could kill some of you.



Hopefully the smelts haven't gone by yet.

We only need a bit for a meal or two.

Those back feet are kinda sexy.  






McKenzie tan is your friend if you want to preserve the hide.  Has instructions on their website and the bottle.

I need to learn the old way.

Not everything can be easily sent out this way.

How does the fat "render"?  Just sit and rot till ready or is it cooked?

It oozes out of the fat.

Just let it sit in a bucket and stir it every so often.

If we could pump crude from fat chicks, we would never reach peak oil, and be the richest country on the planet. We all be rolling like Sheiks.

Google the salt-alum method of tanning. It is easy and works well with furs but is not waterproof. Brain tanning coupled with cold smoking is waterproof but is usually used just for preserving leather.

You can probably just flesh and stretch the hide, they will store a very long time like that until you either learn how to tan, or send it out.

Here in the south we have a delicacy called deep fried fatback. Basically it's just a slab of salted pork fat that we cut up in chunks and toss in a deep fryer and then promptly eat. Can you do the same with seal fat?

I have not seen anybody try deep fry or fry seal fat.

It can catch on fire.



You can eat the fat raw.

My 7yr old girl loves it and we have to watch her as she will stuff herself.





We do fry moose,bou and bear fat in a pan though.

Before 1986, many manufacturers used whale oil for automatic transmission oil/fluid.



Seems hard to believe, at that relatively recent date, but I know that it is true.



The 1986 treaty and ban on whale hunting stopped the harvest of whale oil.

Is it legal there to hunt seal? I was under the impression that natives are only allowable to take them.
