i got it off the interwebs...if it was me, i'd leave out the onions.

shit, when we were kids, we'd pack up and go down to the river. we'd just take stuff to build a fire. kill something, cook it. then try to eat it. never ate a smores til i was in my 40's.

mud duck
carp
woodpecker
frogs
etc

I know a guy who cooks a raccoon every year for Thanksgiving. He slow cooks it and says the key is to drain the fat off 4 times, because apparently the bad taste comes from the yellow fat. I've never had it prepared that way. I know another guy who makes BBQoon. He roasts, pulls the meat and crock pots it all day with bbq sauce and serves it on rolls.

It's alright, but I'd rather just have the beef or pork variety.

MOhillbilly · 11-02-2009, 11:03 AM

i know a guy that eats turtles. how ****d is that?

How long did it take you to clean the carp enough to eat?

I tried that once.......

Used to go to Glen Elder with my bow and shoot carp out of a little john boat. There would be schools of carp just boiling the water. You could close your eyes and hit one. They got thrown up on the bank though.

We ate alot of snapping turtles when I was a kid. It was pretty good. I know guys who trap turtles(both summer and through the ice) and sell them and they ship them back east.

not long, but it really wasn't very sanitary. gut it and put a stick through it and put it over the fire. when you think it's done, try and get as much meat off, using fingers.
we were kids...thought we were big time woodsmen. spent a month in the hospital one summer w/viral encephalitis. dad kinda put the hammer on the campouts for awhile.

My grandad taught me to respect the woodpeckers. I was always forbidden to shoot them. Along with a handful of other birds deemed "respectable".

pressure cooker like salmon. mmmmmm so good.

tooge · 11-02-2009, 11:15 AM

Yeah, carp is great in a slow cooker or pressure cooker. The bones turn edible. Or, grind it up, bones and all and make fish cakes. Sucker is the same way. I've scored suckers and deep fried them and the bones are so small they are edible. Good eats.

Fish · 11-02-2009, 11:26 AM

Ate plenty of bullheads from the farm pond back in the day. Those fish would bite anything you could put on a hook. Anything. Those were actually pretty good. Mom cooked those up real nice. Haven't had that in a long time...

That is a very unusual birthmark on that guy's face.
