Sorry, I don't do much cooking myself, but I do like it bottled. Most of the meat is found in the flippers and shoulders, and not much anywhere else. There isn't much blubber in the springtime, but in any event, most of it is close to the pelt. IIRC, the bag limit was around a half dozen last year. Its a fairly heavily regulated hunt, as I sure you can imagine (given all the negative publicity), and I have to participate as an apprentice under someone with all the paperwork. Apparently, even that system is gone by the wayside now, but I am grandfathered in. There aren't any tags.
