Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
John, how do they taste?
I hate to say it like this but it tastes like turtle.
Turtle doesn't taste like anything but itself. So Ill describe it rather than comparing it to another type of meat.

It is very clean tasting with a texture similar to chicken thighs. It is was more subtle tasting than gator, and doesn't taste like chicken.

Serve it in a soup or stew topped with green onions and a splash of sherry!

Not trying to show off or brag but I whipped up some homemade lasagna from another recipe that Paul sent me, not as time consuming as the chicken and sausage gumbo.

A large turtle can have 7 different types of meat (light/dark) its very good, cleaning one up can be nasty, but its worth it
