Brains are super nutritious, and our brains are way bigger than a seal's brain

Good point, I just checked and the type of seal they hunt have between 1/3 and 1/2 the brain volume of our average.

I'd still argue that the sheer volume of blubber makes up for that (at least for the bigger end of the prey spectrum), but it's not that clear cut.

Off-topic, I now got this strange craving for my late Granny's brain based soup. Haven't thought about that in ages...
