I've had snapping turtles and soft-shell turtles, but prefer the snappers. The soft shell is a darker meat and has a stronger taste to me. As for cooking it, just roll it in seasoned flour and fry in peanut oil. Peanut oil has a higher scorching point than regular vegetable oil, so you won't get that burnt tastes.
Nope. The bigger pieces I'll cut down to managable sizes. I fry it slow, at around 175-200 degrees. That's usually enough to tender it up. Pressure cooking and par boiling, you loose alot of the flavor.shaftthrower wrote:I to have trapped snappers and they are very good eats. Big58cal you don't pressure cook or par boil before frying?
