I had it once. Absolutely disgusting. Tasted like the black goop on the bottom of a Marsh. Your mileage may vary, some people love it. Give it a try, it's free food.

Yes, muskrat is good to eat. It is beef like in flavor and texture and not dissimilar to beaver.
Keith I agree. Never cooked it for myself but when I had it roasted it tasted like a beef roast. Still don't cook it for myself though.

I did when I was a home trapping after school but that was a long time ago.

Yes you do or no you dont? In 1977, When I was 18 year's old and attending college, there wasn't a lot of money for groceries so muskrat was on the menu along with venison. Pan fried muskrat rolled in flour/bread crumbs butter, salt and pepper was a popular feast on many occasions. With all the farm pollution and chemicals flowing into my marshes now, I wouldn't eat it any more. w

I’ve had beaver and thought it was pretty good but never muskrat. I would like to try some sometime. They don’t exist in my area Pennsylvania so it might be a while until I get a chance.
Eh...wot?
