• xenforo has sucessfully updated our forum software last night. Howevr, that has returned many templates to stock formats which MAY be missing some previous functionality. It has also fixed some boroken templates Ive taken offline. Reat assured, we are working on getting our templates back to normal, but will take a few days. Im working top down, so best bet is to stick with the default templates as I work thru them.

I have on several occasions eaten manatee steak, and it is very good. I lived in South Florida for a while, and a girlfriend was part of a manatee rescue group. They would come across manatee that while alive, needed to be put-down. The marine biologist who ran the group was an old-school New England pragmatist who didn't like to see anything wasted. If the manatee was healthy (other than the injury for which it needed to be put-down), he'd cut steaks while they were doing the necropsy. Once you got over what you were eating (sort of like the first time I had Kangaroo), it was mighty tasty. One word of warning (besides the obvious) if you are thinking of doing this on your own; parasites.

Sure!
Everyone knows that natives keep harpoons in their boats just for such an occasion. Never had it my-self? but I hear its REAL good!!!!

Anyway while were off topic. Lets keep this one burried
Remember sheep are cute as well.
I'll share a few tips....Remember the alligator was once close to extinction. So back off tree huggers.

Manatee meat has a mild taste and readily adapts to recipes for beef. Choice cuts of meat, primarily the tail and peduncle, can be used in any recipe. The body and flipper meat, with just a little extra preparation and special recipes, can be just as tasty. I recommend cubing the less-tender cuts for extra tenderness or pounding steaks with a meat mallet.

Regardless of what cut of manatee meat you are using, all fat and sinew must be removed before freezing or preparing. Even the yellowish fat between the layers should be removed. When using flipper or body meat, we recommend removing the white tendons and vessels as well.

Manatee meat HAS been successfully frozen for over a year. This was done by removing all fat, wrapping well in cellophane and then again in freezer paper.

Body and flipper meat cuts are excellent choices for burgers, casseroles, ground meat, soups and stews. Peduncle and tail meat work well for roasts, steaks and barbecue.

Meat cut types

Tail - cut across the base of the tail just below abdomen
Flipper - sever the joints where flippers attach to body
Peduncle - meat from peduncle muscles
Torso - remaining meat from the back and ribs

Appearance of meat cuts
Tail - light pink to white with internal bands of hard white fat that appear circular in cross sections and run lengthwise near the tailbone
Flipper - darker in color with small fat deposits along tendons
Torso - similar to meat from tail but without fat bands

anyway let the bashing begin.






The previous is all BS! Right

The best hunting this time of year is in front of the warm water outfalls from power plants. Lettuce leaves is a great way to bait them to the surface.
 
Manatee

Man, I could never eat manatee!!! If I was to try, all I would be able to think about is my old lady floating around in the pool. Only difference is you could never bait that bitch with lettuce. You would need some ribs, or a double cheese burger. I bet if you tried to ride one of them damn things it would be hell, again kinda like my old lady!!! I am sticking to BBQ you can have your manatee, and mine to, I will send her to ya!!!
