Nothing but fat and bones in side a beaver tail. You read about mountain men and Indians liking it so much and that is why...fat was hard to come by in those days and it kept you alive.
Brains
Good shit
Is that you Steve Rinella?
Gilles villenueve?
@@JGunit Jim Shockey is a better than Steve Rinella
If a mountain man only ate the lean meat of wild game, he would suffer from protein poisoning. The human body needs fats to process the protein. Beaver tail fat was eaten to stay alive, not because it tasted good.
Kiedrowski Kim You are correct about dietary needs but it is quite tasty. Reminds me of turkey tail.
@@bradgillis3701 isn’t turkey a country
It probably tasted pretty darn great if you were starved for fat, just not that great for everyday people with balanced diets.
I really think that you have no idea what you are talking about. I ate nothing but lean meat for 5 months straight, not even any spices just lean meat and salt. I maintained my weight of 220 pounds no problem. The issue is calories not the type of food.
they seemed very reluctant to cook and eat this from the start...
Just got a 40 pounder last night. Can't wait for my son and I to try this.
Wish you could take the ones that are messing up my dock!
I stay away from stanky beaver LOL
You guys are all crying over a beaver's tail, why ? They didn't eat the beaver I'm sure he is still alive and well.
+Chuck Savage You must be joking.
What do you mean ? Beavers in the usa can grow back their tails.
+Casey Dunne god casey your dumb if you actually fell for that bait.
+Casey Dunne u dumb bruh 😁
+rinke1994 u can't tell if someone is sarcastic. -.- We can't here you or anything
Trappers eat beavers up north, not all the time, but when things get tough, it's food.
Edwin Dueck You watch tons of the same channels I do. Were you subbed to my old channel?
What does beaver meat taste like
@@seanlamar29 mild like pork or Chicken
My grandfather always said if you are hungry enough, mouse or moose, meat is meat.
@@seanlamar29 we don't eat the tail but the rest of the beaver is my favorite meat. Amazing backstraps
I would not eat this.
UNACCEPTABLE
Because you're weak
@@thelewis2898 because he's not Canadian lol
More for me.
Cool video. I trapped a beaver and saved the backstraps, hind quarters, castor sacs and the tail. I'm gona try the tail this summer on the grill.
next episode they'll grill each other!
Drill*
What's the difference between a beaver and a pig? Why r those who eat pork blaming people who eat beaver?
+Wenyuan Du haha i thought you were setting up for a joke...
Rodrigo Castellanos lol nope im being srs
Rodrigo Castellanos I mean legally it is okay to eat beavers, so if the majority of ppl think it is not okay, you can just use democracy to change that part of law, instead of blaming it on youtube. But that is not gonna happen because ppl dont think so
+Wenyuan Du Pork is saltier and does not have a warm / sweet flavour as Beaver. Pig is also way greasier. While beaver is tender, it is thicker more like a poultry or larger animal than pig which is very spongy and flaky. Beaver has more muscle. The beaver tail is not like the rest of the beaver though. The tail has way more fat.
According to Undaunted Courage, a book about Lewis and Clark, while on their expedition "Next to beaver tail, buffalo hump and tongue were the meat of choice"
Seems like them boys were all about munching beav.
only ever had beaver tail once,it tasted much like something that lives in ponds would taste like,mild with a not so subtle hint of rotten plants and mud.
before any cooking of the tail cut around outside edge of tail then at the body end of the tail fillet it back a bit then clamp tail bone in a vise and pull off skin with pliers slowly. the second side will need a bit of help by filleting along the pulling process. Dont waste the tail skin, tan it and use it for a wallet or grip covers for your motorcycle or even a handle cover for your bow or maybe a simple knife sheath. So how about some beaver,coyote or bobcat backstraps? Trappers rule, we founded this great country!
+Bob Harland have any recipes for any of the above: beaver, coyote, bobcat....maybe boar? Really want to run down a boar and smoke it! But guess just smoke/grill like a swine...?
You can skin the tail wthout cooking it. cut the tail along the edge all the way around and use pliers or vice grips and pull skin from the tail.
Another summer day in Canada...
There's a joke in there somewhere...
I love eating beaver
I just wanted to see cute videos of beavers lol
Ok here's my take on it . It's very a mild meat, but it's a really fatty meat.
really fatty.
Surprised by all the dislikes. From what I've read and heard beaver tail (and the rest of the meat) is pretty damned good.
They disliked this while chewing burger 😂
This doesn't look like any beaver I've ever eaten, and I've eaten quite a few. The smell is a lot like you described though lol
He says "oh you just poked it" 😂😂😂😂😂😂 his buddy just ruined his experience .
Man, I always wanted to eat Beaver tail...
Can chicken in broth
“It needs salt”
Honey it needs to be something else entirely
I want to have some beaver tail now !!
mountnman100 Look up sous vide cooking.. it's a slow cooking technique where the item is placed in a vaccuum-sealed bag and slowly cooked in a tub of warm water..this keeps the meat moist and soft..
I wonder if they got sick. 134 for 3 days, 3 days in the danger range, I wouldn't eat it after thatc
Remember people, (unfortunely) unlike most people today, trappers loved tails bc of the fat. Fat and rich foods were hard to come by on the frontier so a nice warm roasted fatty beaver tail was a delicacy
That is true. And beavers can be destructive pests.
I've eaten beaver & tail but never beaver tail
There's 2 parts to the tail...the flapper....which is what you had...its a very fatty meat and was really more a survival food....most of the beaver tail you have heard about is the flapper proper. It's the muscular area behind the rear legs. This area must be cleaned carefully. This area contains the castors, and oil glands. This area also contains the sex organs and sometimes in my beaver experiance the bladder can be in this area.
The flapper proper is rather lean and I find it is like pot roast once cooked.
Mm yummy, Flies all over your food.
Is this comparable to bone marrow in texture?
Maybe I'm missing something, but what kind of "bath" did you put it in?
A sous-vide bath. That's an immersion cooker. Vacuum sealed, then placed in an electronically temperature controlled water oven at 140 degrees for 3 days. It made the meat soft and gelatinous, which is why we could have just peeled the skin off instead of searing it off with the accompanying bad smells.
U can peel skin of a beaver tail when it's raw uncooked..like a sock.
How long do you need to grill it after peeling off the skin?
Thats a hard pass for me my friend
WTF?!? 😂 I search cute beaver tail (alive) but ended up with a bunch of beaver tail cooking
👍🙂
Wow the dislikes... I'm ok with eating beaver tail as long as you eat the rest of the animal...
Honestly,,,I've tried it,,,and it's pretty bad,,,and I'm a damn good cook, with wild game,,,no amount, of bacon fat,,,or cover it with hot sauce,,does any good,,,,reminds me of beef fat,,without the beef flavor,,,been to many game dinners, at clubs,,,and they wont touch it,,,cause they know,,,the beaver MEAT, is way better,,and delicious,,,honestly dont know where the old time trappers, got the idea, this was good,they probably ate it, for the caloric content,,,no way, does it taste good, to me,,,I've yet to meet anyone, that likes it,,,also,,I noticed your plates weren't empty,,,and I dont turn down too much food,,,I get it ,,,you guys wanted to try it tho,,,,,great vid, but I'd rather eat chitlins,,and I hate chitlins!!!!😎
Still prefer the old school beaver shot lmfao ;-)
Cook 3 days at a low temp 135. I have to assume a hot water bath?
Only beaver I eat walks on 2 legs!!
Idiot.
milwaukeegregg -Brilliant!!!😂😂😂
The split tail subspecies of beaver is considered the most delicious.
Sick man 👍🏽
That was absolutely disgusting.
*Delicious.
The problem here is the sous-vide cooking technique. All The Nasty swamp and fish smell is in that skin, that you boiled the tender meat with it for three days. You'd be better to just spray water on the skin and cut off the skin to minimize contact. I've had the tail meat before, and it wasnt all gross looking, and stanky like you guys described. I think in an effort to go the extra mile, you shot yourselves in the foot.
You missed the best part. The bottom 1/3 to 1/2 of the tail is thrown out and save the last part of the pelvis red meat area. This is whats cooked. You get the best meat and the richest part of the tail. Cooking it over a open grill is what gives it the best taste. Good to see someone try something different.
The only good thing about this video is the Sierra Nevada beer
Does it taste good? I'm asking for everyone who've never tried it
+Ban Juu beaver is all about how you prepare it. I would say beaver is one of my liked meats. I like it more than porc and roast beef but not more than boar or bear. If you like wild meat it is fairly good, its not too strong and has a unique flavour sort of a mixture flavour to it somewhere betweeen chicken and boar.
+William Ashley also have to ask you for some boar and definitely bear recipe, recommendations and prep suggestions, please. just some favs
soaking boar before roasting. I would say your best bet on recipes is from the royal recipe books from the middle ages. For bear I've only had it dried out, but I hear that you can make a really good pemmican with it. For example Early French Cookery: Sources, History, Original Recipes and Modern Adaptations

Thank you, much appreciated! :)
The original way to cook this is to dip the tail in water, then put it over a hot fire, when the bubble forms you peel the skin off. then slice along the spine. Lightly salt/skewer, put back over the fire to cook.
The fact that what ever reason you bathed it WITH the skin allowing the water proofing oils in the skin to permeate and turned the meat to mush is beyond me....
+CheckLike for clarification, when you say dip you mean In the water and then Out immediately...?
Yeah, wet it in clean water, put it over fire, a big bubble will form on the skin. Pull it off the heat then peel the skin off. slice along the bone to allow some fat/blood to drip off
then replace over the fire until well done
omg, i almost had a gag reflex with this. very interesting though.
And people say scots eat disgusting haggis...its beautiful
hahaha you ate a darn beaver tail
Why so many dislikes? It looks like fish. I'd be open to try it!
+fReinKo Probably because beavers are too cute to eat.
+fReinKo because of a CONDOM on his finger at 4:51!
It looks like a piece of pig fat, i sure as hell wouldnt eat it
+Key Driver beaver is pretty tastey. Lots of calories in that.
relatives of mine from North Idaho were Loggers, and, pretty much mountain men.
they fought a wild fire there back in 1910.
one way they ate Beaver Tail, was in a soup.
they did talk about blistering the tail first to get the skin off.
while I have never had it, they said it was very tasty.
Beaver meat is great, the muscles that control the tail are good eating but the tail itself ? No! I imagine you could cook a possum tail the same way. LOL
Delishous
I was looking for the Canadian dessert
Wtf they’re actually putting butter on the fat……and they’re having a frowning face during the whole process lol
3 DAYS?! @ 135?! aren't you worried about bacterial growth at such a low temperature? I've read multiple stories of people cooking at that temperature for to long and everyone spoiled their meat. I hope you didn't get sick.
Yes, we all died, but we got better. It's fine. Long exposure to that heat does kill all germs. Many restaurants use sous vide like this.
@@BBQDragon yeah I'm sure they just lied to me for no reason.
@@joachimsingh2929 There's a difference between lying and misunderstanding, right? Here's a quote pulled from "amazing food made easy," which includes federal guidelines for food safety:
"One of the common misconceptions about cooking temperatures needed to kill bugs is that the temperature is the only important part of the equation. The thing many people miss is that the time the food is at the temperature is just as important.
Federal guidelines suggest the following temperature and time combinations, applicable to sous vide as well, to kill salmonella and E. Coli bacteria in food.
130F for 86.42 minutes
135F for 27.33 minutes
140F for 8.64 minutes
145F for 2.73 minutes
150F for 51.85 seconds
160F for 5.19 seconds
165F for 1.64 seconds"
awsome post, nothing should be wasted from any beaver that is taken. That looks really good. I am suprised you added butter as I think there is oil in the tail too, I could be wrong.
+William Ashley the butter is for flavor, not for grease....and they said, like, 5 times that the tail is very fatty.
I've never heard anyone complain about the smell. I think it smells great. The right way to cook it, the way all the old times I've known cooked it, was t just place it directly on the coals of a campfire Flip I once, and when the skin cracks all over and starts to bubble, pull it out and eat it.
looks yummy haha
Omg! Guys you are crazy!
Norma Espinosa Zenteno 😍😍😍😍
a delight :)
I think that is the platypus beaver tail
Very hard not to giggle for the full length of this video.
I’m going to go to my local exotics butcher and pick. Some up
I'm so hungry
Let's use beaver tail slapping one face.
Bet you could cook this puppy like they cook cow tongue
In the journals of Lewis and Clark, Meriwhether Lewis declared beaver tail his favorite meal.. I think that was after he tired of "Buffalo hump." I'll bet it "needs salt." Looks rather "mucus-sy" to me... Think I'd need to have a number of beers before going this route.... though I did just have two beavers removed from my lake.. one weighing 66 pounds btw.
Lol l laughed every time he said white meat
Hey guys. I just did I Beaver tail cooking video myself. Wish I had a Grill for mine. Also liked your cutting technique. I'll have to go that way next time. Good vid.
What do you mean by sevet? As in the technique used in preperation?
Sous vide
It's a method of cooking by which you submerge whatever it is you're cooking into water that's regulated at a certain temperature, it's a great low n slow method.
Three days?
hi guys i dont know much about eating a beaver but i have a question, is the tail the only thing u can eat or can u cut up the body and eat it too?
you can eat the meat lol... you can eat almost any mammal if not all
+ganthonyvr As another poster stated, you can eat pretty much all mammals. With beaver, scent glands must be removed...they are extremely strong and will ruin any meat cooked while still attached. BTW, the glands are a hot commodity used in industry in perfumes etc as well as used as scent bait for trapping
believe it where exactly are those glands? i think is the same with possom right
ganthonyvr Both male and female beaver (when mature) have a pair of castor sacs and a pair of anal glands.They are located beneath the skin in cavities between the base of the tail and the pelvis. I am unsure about the location of possum glands but believe that they do posses them, though different from the beaver castor glands, yes, Castor glands actually are valuable to industry
I have no idea that it was an actual tail, I thought it was the cactus.
Invaderguy78 Of Space me too lmao
Came for the b3aver eating comments
I thought this was going to be a dessert beaver tail
Put it straight to the coal, grill it hard. Crack open the skin. Use salt and pepper. Use it/ eat it like bonemarrow. It's not neat to just eat it lite a piece of meat. Teriyaki sause or something similarly compliments nicely.
High school type comedy at 1:46.
although, you referenced American history in this video, as a Canadian, I cannot think of anything more Canadiana than this....and I have never heard of anyone eating beaver tail! Beaver are often considered pests around here. make hats sure but eat...not so much. I'm down! I'll be contacting some local farmers/ranchers/conservationists to acquire some tail ;) What about the rest of the beaver?
i hear that the rest is good too... just ask them for the whole beaver (meat carcass and tail... not the hides since that's valuable) and experiment from there :)
Sous Vide for 3 days? WTF! Good I bet!
Anyone noticed his finger? They must have cooked this guy’s finger on the last episode.
It's a finger glove. Kinda like a tiny condom for the finger to protect it
Where I can taste some beaver meats? I would like to try.
+Jin Chang on the second shelf up from the BBQ crickets, next to the pickled dog but to the right of the elephant tusk and shark fin
Screw you
you cut it paper thin and its melts in your mouth
Hardy any meat. Mostly fat and if "mountain men" had the tail that means they had the rest of the beaver which is extremely good and has fat. I've ate plenty of beaver that I trapped and with all that good eating why would you bother with the tail? I call bullshit.
Eat the skin is taste better
The white audacity to give credit to the French. 😂 I was done watching at this point. Is this animal indigenous to France? I’m almost positive the indigenous people of this here land were cooking beaver before the European stole it.
I ate beaver once with my family but we didn't eat the tail. Didn't even know you could.
My dad used to always say, if you eat the beaver, you might as well eat the tail.
No
Hold up they cookin cameras at 6:13
holy shit
That’s not beaver tail the real beaver tail is made out of bread (yeah I said beaver tail twice)
They didnt show the eating of it, I bet they took 1 bite and threw it away
Do not kill a beaver
😬
