As muskrat is mainly herbivorous, its flesh is sweet and palatable, similar to rabbit, although darker, and is fine grained. It can be delicious roasted, broiled, braised or stewed.

They should be skinned and cleaned as soon as possible, then washed in warm salted water. Be sure to remove all the musk glands from inside the legs as wller as the white tissuet skin and all the fat. Soak the meat in a weak brine for 2-3 hours to draw out the blood before cooking.

Try them: dredged in seasoned flour and opan fried with sliced onions. battered and deep fried. or ground in a meat loaf.
