My grandfather's home included a lot of riverfront marsh land with abundant muskrats. To him, they were a delicacy. Memories of those meals were sparked when I came across this recipe in a March 1996 edition of the Carrol County (MD) TImes.

I grew up in a rural area always hearing about muskrats! I didn’t know that they were real or that people cooked them, but this looks.. interesting 😅 are they delicious ?

I was raised in southern MD! There’s a seafood place near my old house that sells muskrat. My dad asked if it ever sold and the owner said old folks would complain if they ran out! Fun to see a recipe for it on here.
Wow, that’s interesting 🤨
Can’t say I’d want to give this a try. I think I’ll stick to Shepard’s pie instead. 🤭
