Rattlesnake is a mild meat, chewy and flavorful, that is great in almost any type of dish. Soup, salad, or just grilled on the BBQ. This is a meat you should cook all the way through. A reminder, that snakes are coated with Salmonella slime, so first gave it a nice, long soak in a salt water brine. Skin it (just like a fish), and inspect the meat. A four foot snake has a lot of meat clinging to his bony skeleton. Stock photo
