Yes, penguins are edible by humans. Many of the early expeditions
to Antarctica supplemented their diets with fresh penguin meat during
their long voyages, especially since the food that they brought was
often lacking in nutrients or sometimes spoiled. The members of
some expeditions also ate penguin eggs for the same reasons.
There are a few locations where egg collection is still carried out by
people, but not at the same scale as during the age of exploration.
At present, eating penguins or seals is frowned upon for reasons of
conservation and ecosystem preservation.

how do you define penguin? If a canibal saw someone in a tux would that be considered a penguin?
If a bride performed on her husband in the elevator after a wedding would that be considered a penguin?
The bird? I don't think so

Penguins meat is just like duck meat and it is little hard.
I ate it in a restaurant and it wasn't nice at all however the people in the front table were eating without complaining and finished their dish, but I couldn't.

I don't see why not, we eat many other types of birds. They are probably very nutritional.

You can, but they're a little tough. Baby seal is much more tender.
