Fresh seafood is delicious. Darned sea lions are going to imbalance the food chain.

Sea Lion Flipper Over a Fire-Pit Take sea lion flipper and place on the fire to burn off the hair and black skin. This doesn't take very long- maybe a 1/2 an hour with a good fire. Remove the hair and skin as you turn the flipper. Once all is removed, let cool. Place the flipper in a bag with seasonings (salt and pepper) and let sit in a cool place for a day. When ready to cook, simmer the flipper in a big pot with shallow water for about 1 hour. Once fully cooked, take the flipper out and place on a large platter. Eat hot or cold. http://seaotter-sealion.org/recipes/index.html HAR HAR, HARDY HAR HAR
