Norway is dependent on fish mostly because of the export value. A lot of fish is eaten in Norway, sure but the Norwegian economy is such that local production has very little to do with what people choose to eat.

The only place in Norway Polar bears live is Svalbard, far North of the mainland. Most Norwegians have never visited because it's far away (a 1h 40m flight North from Tromsø in Northern Norway - similar to how long it takes to fly South to Central Europe from Oslo) and way too cold and miserable.

Seal is something few people eat very often. A huge proportion of the population will never ever have tasted it. Like whale, it's uncommon these days.
