turtles (cleaning/eating/catching)
    #14586928 - 06/09/11 06:11 PM (12 years, 7 months ago)



We are going turtle hunting soon as soon as they are off their eggs. Ive never caught/cleaned nor eaten turtle, I'm pretty stoked. Cleaning one seems fairly straight forward, but I noticed lots of people do things differently. Same goes with catching and cooking, just wondering if someone has any luck or experience in this. Same goes for eating, recipes? preparation? :popcorn:

shoot them in the top of the head to kill them. split the shell with a axe. the body will keep moving as u clean it. use i needle-nose pliers to peel the skin off the meat. good luck.

well I guess thats what I meant heh, after their egg laying. I know you're supposed to wait for something to happen something dealing with eggs and then its cool to go kill them.

Where I grew up it was legal to catch them on a trot line...which we set up with treble hooks and baited with cut up bluegills or whatever roadkill we could find.

Poke a small hole in a leg and stick an airhose in. Seal as best you can and fill up the turtle. It kind of peels some of the skin away from the meat. Other than that, nail them down on their back and start cutting. The airhose cut down our cleaning time from ~45mins to 30 or so.


i use a sawsall to split the shell off.

as far as killing it...i never bothered to shoot one, irritate it with a stick..when he grabs it,pull his head out of the shell and have someone cut it off with a very large knife or machete.

its been a long time but when i cooked them i usually made soup...or parboiled the meat and then bbq'd it on the grill. i never got any complaints. I deep fried some in nugget form too.

turtle is delicious, good luck.
and be careful

jesus those turtles look like they would take my foot clean off. I remember fetching a Frisbee out of a lagoon and I stepped on this shell, and I pulled my foot up and my small toe had a huge gash in it. I never even really felt it, but my small toe was bleeding all over the place. I had to run back to my homies house and stick my foot in the tub.

if youre on the 45th paralell...you wont find them that big. alligator snappers and large regular snappers are more of a southern thing.

another thing i forgot to mention, if you do catch a decent sized one- you need to let it sit in a garbage can with clean water a couple days so its system gets cleaned of mud and or whatever it ate. turtles eat some pretty rank stuff and it make the meat taste like its last meal.

is there any difference in taste/texture of the turtle meat when they get that big? are they better younger? easier to clean? etc..
