Yep!Pretty much anything is edible that way.
A sure way to keep kids from shooting coots is make them eat the first ones they shoot.......I knew a similar version for cooking coot... AKA-mud hen.
Trim some fat, par boil, then bbq in a roaster.When it gets cold I am thinking I want to try to eat one. Seems if you cook them carefully they are pretty good just like wild turkeys.
Have you ever had something in gumbo that wasn't good?I've had it in a gumbo. It was good
I haven't been hungry enough yet, but when I am I'll try canned first before going to the trouble of preparing fresh. lol

As this thread may have run its course, more or less, I'll throw in a pointless personal reference: I actually knew Quentin Tarantino "before he was famous". He worked at a video rental place in Hermosa Beach, California, called "Video Archives". I worked at a bike shop next door called "Hostelhaus Bike & Hike". We regularly would work on his bike in exchange for free rentals, normally of the less than reputable variety. When he told me he was writing a screenplay I not only blew him off but actively made fun of him. I believe that one was called "Reservoir Dogs" or something like that.
Just in case anyone here ever has a question about my judgement or anything.
My wife's folks were farmers and ranchers. Her mother used to say "Just wait until the trucks stop arriving at the grocery stores. After about three days you won't want to be anywhere near town!"the difference in what you will not eat and what you will eat .......is about 24 hours
Same for merganser.A sure way to keep kids from shooting coots is make them eat the first ones they shoot.......
Ask me how I know.
"Any of you like to eat raccoons?"
Never have, never will.
...Hopefully I'll cross off crow this next season as well...
