I've eaten muskrat - kinda like a rat. I think it was just roasted -
gamey enough that it didn't need much seasoning.

Doubt the OP was serioius, but if they are mostly eating your garden
and pantry, not garbage and each other, and they look healthy, I
reckon meat is meat. They are scavengers, but so are catfish and they
dam' tasty. It's the internet, man; I'm sure there are resouces and
references.

I didn't take the OP's obvious troll seriously. Just playin' along!

While nutria are fairly tasty they're a PITA to find unless you have a
marsh boat. They don't run around on dry ground and I don't swim well
anymore. Plus, most marshes in Louisiana actually belong to someone,
usually an oil company or a cattleman.

In far Southern Louisiana you can buy nutria meat in the meat markets on
occasion. Mostly they're caught/killed for the bounty on their tails,
four or five bucks IIRC. The skins aren't worth anything anymore so
they're not worth trapping. The carcass is generally sold for either
mink feed or gator feed, depends on if you've got a close by mink or
gator farm too.

OB: RFC stuff, yesterday I had squirrel and gravy with mashed potatoes
and beans. Friend popped about a dozen of them in his fruit trees again.
Pretty good lunch too.
