My brother-in-law cleans off any gamy taste in his fish and deer by placing the meet into an ice chest with ice and a lot of salt. All his meat taste really really good; no off flavors of any kind. Perhaps his post mortem purge could work too... Dunno... Once I get some fish to eating size I will try each method and compare.


Saw that book at somebody's place (no name :lol: )

If I remember my En Franicaise correctly Charcuterie means "the pork butcher". No wonder it has recipes on curing, smoking and brineing.

We used to soak game and other meat in salted water primarily to draw out the blood. To cut the gamieness we would sometimes use vinegar water, and other people I know would use wine or beer during the cooking process.

nice tip, the few times I've eaten game larger than a rabbit, I have wondered how to get rid of the blood without hanging it for a few days (which I was never going to do) made the taste strange, but still quite edible.

There is an english way of hanging meat where you hang the meat and then away.

After it has turned green scrape off the outside and then butcher the remainder. Yum, very tender :)
