About Black bear meat

Black bear meat is game meat from the black bear, used in some regional food traditions. It may be prepared as ground meat, roasts, or other cuts, with cooking methods chosen according to the cut and recipe.

The meat is red to dark in colour and has a savoury flavour, but its texture and richness vary with the animal, cut, and handling. Fresh, frozen, ground, and cured forms differ, and descriptions should specify the form rather than treating all bear meat as identical.
