I mean, have you ever eaten seal? If not... then your argument holds no water.

Ad hominem, sort of? Certainly a dubious conclusion. You're advocating for anecdotal evidence.

Would that not be a fallacy of the single cause? He assumes that the only thing that can hold up the argument is the fact that he should have eaten seal meat, while he could've arrived at the outcome through various other sources.

Might be completely wrong though, I need to brush up on my fallacies.

Apparently they don't serve it at McDonalds or his/her local restaurant so its wrong, makes me wonder if a restaurant round where he/she is does start serving it does that mean his/her stance changes.
