Although Aleut tribes eat the blubber from seals the meat itself is rather 
obnoxious being very stringy, tough and not a little fishy in flavor. SFAIK, 
no mention of seal is made in any of the currently available corpora of 
period recipes. Whale and dolphin were the sea mammals of choice during the 
middle ages.
