Did the father know he was eating the body of his wife during the time they were stranded?

Right, I meant the grudge has to do with seagulls.
Okay, here's my take on the answer.
The young man, his mother, and the old man were out at sea on a boat. For some reason that I don't know, the young man accidentally caused the boat to explode. The explosion blinded the old man, and killed the mother. They all got onto the life-raft. (Not sure why they took the dead mother's body, but whatever). They were lost at sea for a long time. The only thing around were seagulls, which the old man could hear but not see, obviously. They started to starve because they couldn't catch any fish for some reason and also couldn't catch any of the seagulls. The young man got desperate and decided they should eat his mother's corpse. The old man refused to do this. So the young man cuts it up anyway and eats some and gives some to the father, lying and telling him he caught a seagull and this is the meat. Then they're finally rescued/sight land/whatever. (For some reason, the rescuers don't mention that "hey, this dead lady has chunks cut out of her!" Not within earshot of the old man, anyway.)
Later, the old man somehow finds out that what he ate was not seagull, I guess from coming to this one restaurant that actually serves it, and puts 2 and 2 together and realizes what he did eat. He then brings the son to that restaurant to prove to him that he knows what he did, just before he shoots him in vengeance for making him unknowingly cannibalize the mother.
The end.
