Thread: Crappie Taste

I completely agree Bassing. The first deer I got this past year was in the freezer within 2 hours after being shot. She liked that deer. The second one I got this year was a buck. The meat definitely tasted much more gamey. I also like that I can use more of the animal now, than I did before too. After I get the edible to human parts off, and processed; I take my time and remove more parts for the dogs. Weather I grind up the tougher parts for food, utilize the heart and lungs, or use some of the bones (femur, upper leg, etc.) for treats. They love them too! As for Ducks, I still have about 4-5 bluebills in the freezer. She said she would give it one more shot. If she still doesn't like them, then I guess I'll just start giving them over to friends after the hunt. I really just like going out, and hanging out with my friends. I'm just really glad she is willing to try things before judging them off of the opinions of others... or maybe she just trusts me... lol who knows.

if temps permit, venison is best if allowed to hang and age just a couple days. Best if its cold enough to not spoil, but warm enough to not freeze.
I took some goose breast recently and cut them up into bite sized chunks, browned in butter in a fry pan. Took the whole works and dumped in a crock pot, covered with cream of mushroom soup. Cooked on low about 5 hours. Then put it on toast. Could use noodles or mashed potatoes. It was very tastey. Maybe the duck would work too.

I would have to agree on the filleting. I usually make my own beer batter using one cup of Bisquick put in a tablespoon of old Bay a bit of salt and pepper and enough beer to make a thin paste on the fish and fry em up. Mighty tasty. The fish have a little non fishy taste. One of the better tasting fish to me
