Seal meat is delicious
We ate seal meat in Tasiillaq, Greenland, last summer. A friend bought it from local hunters and prepared it for us. It's delicious, somewhat like stewed beef in taste.
Here's a picture:

Seal?
Unfortunately the seal had been eaten... I was loooking forward to some :(
Slightly misleading information in the Greenlandic news
Aluu Pipaluk (sumiuungavit?). I was there too, but was told the seal was only for invited people... A little misleading based on what was written in the Greenlandic newspapers.
Overall, I found it an interesting exhibition, and funny to see my old schoolmate being interviewed. A technical note though, I found that the music played was just a notch too high, to actually being able to hear the rather interesting movie-clips.
