I have people ask from time to time what I do with buffalo well besides using them for coon mink and otter bait there a really good eating fish they cook up white and flaky and mild tasting if you ain’t never eat eny your missing out.
But there full of bones like sucker
Some times a rib them out and smoke them or fry them rolled in corn meal,and some times we bake them whole and pick um there full of bones but there relatively big bone and easy to eat around.
I like a smaller one for this 2 or 3 pounds and preferably a small mouth or what the old people around hear called a white but this was a black and there ok not as good as the small mouth. But I do not like the big mouth buffalo personally.
Enyhow thought I’d share I’ll post a pick when I get him cooked!
I don’t think we have those here. We don’t have what they call red horse either or soft shelled turtles as far as I know. I’m in the Cumberland River drainage system.
I don’t have them up this ay but if they’re boney like a sucker then they are full of bones.
They are but there bigger bigger bones then sucker
All kinds of redhorse and soft shell turtles in rockcastle and Cumberland River towards the falls steve
I didn’t know that. The green soft shells with the pointy noses?
Colt those Meat Clevers are the real deal I’ve used mine for about everything
Butchering wise
I’ve got one similar to yours
Really enjoy your post
Yeah all kinds of them
Talked to Chuck Rainwater yesterday afternoon and he was sitting on the bank of the Tennessee River watching people catch them from the bank, big ones.
Yeah they get pretty stinking big I’ve seen them close to 60 or so pounds
Had one in the 30 pound range the other day with a Carp to match don’t care much about eating um that big.
