Puffins have been eaten in the Norwegian Lofoten islands in historical times (google "lundehund"). I've found a few references to recipes online, but only in Norwegian. There's also some information in Baldwin's article "Sea bird fowling in Scotland and Faroe" (Folklife, 1974, Vol. 12, pp.60-103).

Subject: puffin butchery and consumption
Hello Zooarchers,
Does anyone have any good references (or recipies) for puffin? We have a puffin-dominated Iron Age
assemblaged dominated by wing elements - does anyone know of comparible sites? I have a student
working on the material and we have drawn a blank on any accounts of puffin preparation/butchery.
I hope you can help.
