I did a search and couldn't find any results. I have several gallons of preserved ground fish,muskrat and beaver. What would you use to thicken it? It is pretty runny right now.

I've seen some recipes call for flour or cornstarch.
Learning and loving trapping.

Paul, can you buy powdered egg yolk?
swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

Did I read that right 75.00 for s& h I don't know. This isn't where I get mine, it was one that popped up when I googled powdered egg yolks.

Use dehydrated sheep liver. It absorbs 2 times it's amount added. Use it in bait or lures that are food lures. If you can find it, powdered chicken livers work well also. I have used that in the past with good results.

How much would the powered chicken or sheep liver, change the flavor of (example) ground fish? Right now, I'm using Bob's suggestion of using oatmeal, while waiting on my order of other ingredients to arrive.
My thinking food is food to a critter, so it doesn't make any difference.
