Marsh Rabbit in Gravy
« Thread Started on Oct 19, 2009, 7:11pm »
3-4 Large Muskrats (aka marsh rabbit) cut up like rabbit or squirrel
4 slices bacon
1 diced large onion
flour, salt and pepper as needed

Cook bacon until crisp in a cast iron skillet. Remove. Roll rat pieces in flour, salt and pepper mix. (or dump the flour in a paper bag and shake)
Brown muskrat until brown on both sides. Remove from pan and set aside. Add left over flour to pan and stir continuously as in making a roux. Flash the pan with water, beer or wine (or your favorite other adult beverage. Continue stirring until gravy is to your liking. Put browned rat pieces back in skillet and simmer slowly for about 15 minutes.
Serve with anything you normally would with venison, squirrel, rabbit or ???? ABSOLUTELY YUMMY.
Darn. Rat season doesnt open until December
ENJOY
Clyde

Well, this is a new one on me. Never heard of eating them before, but I'd be game. Here in my state though, you have to go through the process of passing a fur-harvester's course and get a fur-harvester's permit for them.

I've eaten other critters that live around water like that and sometimes they can have a fishy, vegetative marshy taste to them (sort of you are what you eat deal I suppose). Do these have that?

I would say that they have a very pleasant nutty taste but it's hard to describe...beyond yummy and/or delicious :D

Actually, I'd try anything once...although I would be much more inclined to give it a go when called Marsh Rabbit. Eatin' anything with "rat" in the name might make it more like a Survivor Island challenge. :) Don't think we have any of those critters here in Florida. I'll consult this expert:
