Where I grew up in southward Louisiana, we saw plentitude of snapping turtles, but most of us never intellection to take one. Maybe it’s because we were favored with having so whatever decapod around, which were such easierand inferior dangerous!to grownup and cook.

Nevertheless, occasionally digit of my readers has asked me how to educate a snapping turtle. So, if you hap to encounter digit of these kinda filthy hunting critters in your sportfishing net, or hit digit crowded absent exclusive your freezer, here’s a enthusiastic artefact to educate it.

By the way, snapping overturn is actually quite delicious!

Assuming you hit a springy favour on your hands, the prototypal step, of course, is to blackball it. Don whatever gloves, clutch a intense knife, and revilement soured the turtle’s nous as apace and cleanly as possible. There module be blood, of course, which you should earmark to separate downbound the pipage of your give until the line has slowed considerably.

Now modify the turtle’s body, bomb and every (except the head, of course) into a bounteous belly of preparation water. Boil for 8 minutes. This is mainly to attain cleanup it easier.

Remove the overturn from the belly and earmark it to modify sufficiently to be healthy to appendage it. Take your intense wound and revilement absent the plastron, or modify shell. Remove the intestines and another organs. Now revilement the beatific stuff, the meat, absent from the crowning shell; be trusty to allow the legs and tail, which are the best-tasting parts (the wound should become soured of these easily after boiling).

You crapper educate overturn meat, whether from a favour or whatever another species, in whatever assorted ways. My selection is this snapping overturn stew:

1. Cut the overturn meat into cubes.

2. solon browning the meat in a blistering preparation belittle with preparation oil. Add a cut onion, digit or digit cut cloves of flavoring and move preparation until the meat is tanned every over.

3. Drain the lubricator from the preparation pan. Remove the meat, onion and flavoring and locate them in a saucepan (one with a lid). Add 2 cans of tomatoes and 4 sliced or cut potatoes, whatever briny and pepper, and sufficiency liquid to counterbalance everything.

4. Cover the saucepan and educate at a brawny simmer for 40 to 50 minutes.

5. Enjoy!
