Awrite JC's ~ Put the shot on a nice one !! Gots her all skinned out ... quartered up ... boiled in pot wiff onions and some shake ...... Now What ???

Rice and Gravy smoothered down wit onions and garlic.

Enjoy.

You guys really eat that over grown Rat? I am sure it is good, if it is done right, but damn you learn something every day!!

I'll trade a limit of green heads for a limit of nutria any day.

First one I've ever skinned .... no lie !!! Skins very easy .... no offensive smell what-so-ever .... nice lookin' meat.

Brown Gravy or Red Gravy ?? Bone in or Bone out ??

I went ahead and took the meat and put it in the freezer so I can do a finish product on a Saturday ...... in other wurds ..... one of mines Beer drinkin' days !!!! Thankin' 'bout doin' a Gumbo 'bout like doin' Skwerrlls !!! What chu thank ??

Good news is ...... we gots plenty of 'em ifin' we can just eat 'em !!!!

Brooks, bein as how you are a legendary skwerrll hunter. You most likely have a method of cookin dem skwerrlls dat is down packed. I would suggest just use da recipe dat you know and like and just substitute nutria for skwerrll for da first time. If you still think sumthin is missin let me know.

Well thanks JC !!!! I'll keep you posted on how this turns out !!! I have very high expintaions and ifin' all goes well ........ I'll rapidly become a Nutria hunter on purpose !!!! Bad thang 'bout that is ..... when you sho-nuff start pin-point huntin' a critter .... thays become scarce !!!

brown it good in a black pot with oil and onions and cook dat on a low fire for about 4 hours or untill the meat starts to fall apart...

cest bon!


JC... I'd trade mallards for nutria any day also... but there is no limit on the marsh cows.

my dad has had nutria cooked just about anyway u can imagine.

Nutria spaghetti is the nom nomz

Only in LA...

I don't know what happened to all the nutra on the river. Uually every where. I haven't seen one in awhile now. Beavers all over the place but no nutra. Stagnent lake nutra is like pond catfish to river cats in taste.

Nutria is better than rabbit I think! We cook it quite often. We usually make a nutria swat 1-2 times a year a clean and freeze about 10 at a time for future sauces!

My grandpa once cooked up a sauce picante when I was younger. Good stuff.
If you can get past the thought of it being a rat, the meat is very healthy. It is herbivore and is a failry clean animal.

We have taken them and seasoned them up and put them on the BBQ pit

I ate it once and enjoyed it. Can you shoot them year around?

Brooks -- Howd it turn out

nutria and deer spaghetti i cooked last week
