Lifestyle Anyone descale a snake to cook?

[sparkuri]

I got lots of snakes & am thinking I need to keep the population low, my diet protein-rich, & experiment with recipes.
Descaling seems like a bitch, but so does defeathering until a pot of hot water is present.
Probably similar to some fish types.

Look it up before you start scaling

That's good advice, other than that I'm not going to listen to someone who gets all their information from crocodile eaters.

I've seen an episode of Bear Grylls where he peeled a snake skin off in one go.

I remember because, in true Bear Grylls fashion, he then used the snake skin to store fluid - specifically his own piss.

Which he later drank.

After doing his piece to camera, he noticed that there was a bit of piss still in the snake skin. He could have just emptied it out off camera, but nope he's Bear fucking Grylls, so he made sure to finish every last drop. Weirdo.

Aaaaaaaanyway, yeah you can peel the snake skin off before cooking it.

They don't have scales like fish. More like frog legs if you've ever done that.

Cut the head off, slice them the length of the under-body and pull the skin off. Clean with water. Grill on a stick over an open flame.

That's exactly how Bear Grylls did it.

Just don't piss in the skin afterwards, seems superfluous.

Call me a girly man, but I ain't ever eating a snake. That shit looks GROSE. My cousin's husband tried to get me to eat some smoked alligator once, I took one bite and was like "NOPE, NEVER AGAIN". Shit tasted like some nasty leather. Bleh.

I did eat rattlesnake in eastern Oregon, but I didn't peel the skin off...just ate it...it was decent dipped in BBQ sauce

Cougar is good meat I have heard, has some fat to it. Never ate a porcupine either, heard it can be a bit shady.
Would love to try both.

I've eaten almost everything that crawled or walked at one point.
not really, just felt like a cool Clint Eastwood type quote

You kind of missed the chance to use the line "I've eaten things that would make a billy goat puke"

Don't forget things that make a billygoat puke.

You have to peel the skin, not scale it. I might be wrong but I think I saw someone nail one to a tree, then he pulled the skin off like a catfish after scoring the belly. Not much meat on those things so you'd have to get a fat one for nit to make any sense.

Da what?

You'd be eating for years if you ever killed this one

He probably drank the camera man piss too and used it to shower then he called him daddy for some reason.

That's longer than this hideous 30 ft limo.

One problem with hunting too much meat in the wild is that it attracts bears. Some dude killed a deer on that alone show and had to make a hut for the meat away from his camp site to keep bears away he had lbs of meat in there.

There's no meat, so you should probably just make chili out of it or something. You mutilated that thing, lol.
