I'm writing an article about people who hunt and eat snapping turtles. If you have a recipe, or cooking tips, anything at all, please share them here!

The first thing I do is, after its all cleaned I put the meat in a pressure cooker and cook until it falls off the bone. Then I take all the meat off the bone, roll it in flour and fry it in a skillet until brown. Very good, love to have a big turtle and invite the family over for dinner.

When I was living down in the bayou, turtle was eaten often both by me and everyone else. I would usually have it in a gumbo, but there are those that just grill it.

When you find out let me know at greg.palenschat@google.com My friends dad cooked one up last year and it was mighty tasty, but they have moved out of the country since. I catch them all the time, but I am not sure how to cook them! I suppose I should google that?

Did you try Googling "turtle recipes"? I've heard of turtle soup, but never heard if it was good or not...but I've heard that armadillo was good. Although, again, I can't speak from experience.
