break the seal

Certain species of Seal are naturally resistant to
training by humans. This is due to their wild, savage nature.
However, with some patience and a steady supply of fresh fish, most seals *can* be trained.

A human seal trainer is said to have "broken the seal" when the Seal correctly fetches a chilled beverage, such as a Moslon Golden or perhaps a delicious Molson Dry from the polar ice, in exchange for a handful of anchovies.

Anchovies are delicious.
