Flipper pie is a traditional Eastern Canadian meat pie made from harp seal flippers. It is similar to a pot pie in that the seal flippers are cooked with vegetables in a thick sauce and then covered with pastry.^[1] It is specific to the province of Newfoundland and Labrador and primarily eaten in April and May, during the annual seal hunt.^[2] Although in the past, seal flippers were usually acquired directly from the boats that were used for the seal hunt (since they were considered a by-product of the seal fur trade), today they are usually purchased in grocery stores.^[3] Seal meat has been described as tasting like rabbit or dark meat chicken, and fans of its flavour tend to be people who grew up eating it.^[4]
