Silent Spring. No penguins—all killed by DDT.
Penguin stew is palatable provided the external fat is removed before cooking, and penguin liver is excellent. Penguin eggs are probably best scrambled.
Do not kill [seals] in the water: even if they don’t sink you will probably not be able to lift them out. Crabeater seals are the tastiest, but all are edible. The loin, tongue and heart are the tenderest muscles, and seal brain is said to be very good. Do not eat the liver. Seal fat is not good eating but makes a good fuel although producing a lot of soot.
