Need Recipes For Racoon Meat

There is an abundant supply of big, fat coons around here. I have trapped them in live traps before and taken them else where to release them .

Now pondering of using them as a food source for when all the "normal , processed meat" runs out.

So, if you have a good recipe, I would love to hear some ideas.

Thanks in advance,

One of my grandchildren had raccoon meat and said
that it was really greasy meat.I have no clue on how
to cook one except maybe roasting?

Gross. I'd rather eat bear which is almost equally as gross.

Hey Mamabeth, haven't seen you around in awhile.

I'm guessing when you get hungry enough, you will eat anything. Ever seen that show Naked and Afraid, were the drop a man and woman off in the wilderness naked and only a few tools? They eat about anything to survive 21 days.

I don't know about recipes, but they do have to be cleaned right. This video shows you where the scent glands are that have to be removed during cleaning.

1 skinned and cleaned coon, quartered
1 L water
500 ml soda
125 ml fat pork, diced
1 cup milk
2 onions, chopped
5 ml salt
60 ml flour
250 ml cold water
5 ml Worcestershire sauce

Soak coon meat in 1 L of water and soda over night. Trim off excess fat. Pat dry meat and dip in seasoned flour. Brown in pork fat. Add onions and make a gravy of flour, water, and sauce. Pour over meat. Cover and bake at 160 C for 2-3 hours. Make a pastry and cover the meat. Bake at 220 c for 30 minutes. Enjoy!

You can cover the meat with bacon strips just before you put it in the oven with the pastry covering if so desired.

Thanks for sharing bro, think my wife is experienced in that department , I'm talking about tasty ideas , not that I don't like her cooking, just looking for some variety is her recipe may grow old to taste.

They do reference in there that they'll be using an old Native American recipe to cook theirs, and that raccoon is a dark meat, so it should be slow cooked.

Treat bear like pork.

Bear bacon is awesome.

Bear meat makes a rather tasty sausage as well.

As for raccoon, I don't eat them.

But you may start here...

Awaiting the next coon-based pandemic.

And y'all thought bats were bad?

Ok but where are ya gonna get the pork fat? You may just as well raise your own chickens...

I've never eaten a coon, but I have skinned one or two in my youth.

Thick fatty skin, so I can see how the meat might be as such.

I can’t say I have a good recipe, nor have I eaten coon before.
As a chef, and assuming it is “greasy” I’d recommend roasting it, to render some fat out.
Then slow roast w/ root vegetables, such as parsnips, turnips, rutabaga, etc.

Wild rice as a base, maybe?

If Chinese people start breaking into my trash cans at night I’m going to send you a sternly worded PM.

Roadkill is superior. It comes pre-tenderize .


That’s all I had to add Carrion people.
