Yeah, but I've been to Louisana - got relatives there who own a swamp smile

the diet of a nutria probably affects a lot of how it tastes. Marmots are nice alpine herbivores where I am - and usually chubby - nutria look like overgrown rats - and I think pretty much eat the same things wink

Now mind you, why would you eat nutria when you can eat alligator or crawdads or catfish.....them's tasty eats down there.
