No personal experience, but according to IS article (in Finnish), today's AY603 HEL-IVL got delayed over an hour since some stubborn individual didn't want to wear a face mask and thus eventually got removed from the flight and ended up in police custody.

I'll be flying HEL-AGP on Thursday. To my surprise, MMB allows me to pick a seafood meal or fruit platter in J. Are these really available? Would anyone know what a seafood meal breakfast would include? I'm not too keen on the omelettes, so this could be a nice change.

I cannot speak for availability, but out of curiosity what did pre-pandemic SFML include in euro J?

Well, the thing is that I was under the impression they don't serve these special meals in Euro-J at all. Only certain meals, such as gluten free, vegetarian etc (where they combine many diets into one terrible tray, which I tried once).

I have not ordered fruit platter meal but seafood meal a few times in Euro-J (during normal times, but I assume little has changed). It’s just the normal fish starter and some fish main guaranteed, for instance, the salmon with horseradish as starter and cod and potatoes as the main. The bread that comes along with it is gluten-free, as in other special meals.
By the name it sounds like they’d bring you a silver platter with crab and lobster, doesn’t it...
Usually there’s no point in ordering this, unless one doesn’t eat meat.

I mostly think if I can fly at all or if AY meals available at citymarket, but you speak about which meal choice to make onboard, I am jealous!!

Well at least I have my vaccination tomorrow, so can already see light at the end of the tunnel, but the second shot will be after 12 weeks. So I think I won't be considered fully vaccinated until July.
When Johnson&Johnson vaccines start it will go faster, as they only require one dose
I hope Finnair does one more extension to level periods.

Lunch & dinner on the inbound flights to HEL is currently chicken Cordon bleu, and pollock as SFML.
Oh, and the guy next to me is wearing a mask made of thick leather, with breathing holes.
FAs say nothing.
