Beaver Tail


 
I've tasted beaver a couple of times, and the taste is, er, interresting. For me much more of a novelty than tasty food.

Here we go:
2 Beaver tails
1 / 2 cup wine vinegar
Salt and pepper
2 teaspoons baking soda (NaHCO3)
1 / 4 cup flour
Butter

1 glass of dry sherry
1 teaspoon Colemans mustard powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1 dash Worcestershire sauce


Flay the beaver tails, cut off fat and wash them in salty water. Put the tails in a mixture of vater, vinegar and salt. Store in fridge overnight.

Rinse the tails in cold water, put them in a casserole and cover them with a mixture of water and baking soda. Heat up, and let them simmer for 10 minutes. Dry off the tails, and sprinkle them with wheat flour. Fry them in a buttered pan until tender, low heat.

Mix the sherry with mustard, sugar and worchestershire sauce. pour the mixture over the tails and cook for another ten minutes.
 
That's how I did them, pretty much, the couple times I have. It's from Northern Cookbook.

Use 2 quarts water to 2 tsp baking soda. Use dry sherry. Use unsalted butter.

To remove the skin, stick a fork in one end and toast the tail over a burner till the skin gets toasty and puffs up. At that point you can more easily strip off the skin. Trim the edge next. Then you're good to go.
