Flipper pie is a traditional pie made with an unusual ingredient – harp seal flippers. It originates from Newfoundland and Labrador, where it has been prepared and consumed during the Lenten season (especially Good Friday and Easter) and the annual seal hunt since 1555. Most recipes call for flour-coated, pan-fried seal meat, which is then roasted with vegetables such as onions, potatoes, carrots, and turnips. The combination is baked in a pastry shell, and the pie is often served with Worcestershire sauce on the side. Interestingly, the practice of seal hunting and the preparation of this pie have been criticized by animal rights activist groups and Sir Paul McCartney.
