In the town I grew up along the Mississippi, they would have Turtle feeds once or twice a year.. Usually grilled. It was quite tasty grilled. The meat is much milder than one would think.. Kindof on the order of Alligator. Thanks for the memories... ;-~~ Jim

The exotic meats are interesting to those that have not been able to experience the cuisine,to others they are just dinner.

Thank-you for this recipe.

Kind Regards

I remember having a lot of road kill turtle, growing up. Did you know that by burying the turtle eggs sometimes you get lucky and they will hatch out. Just a thought.
