About Squirrel meat
Squirrel meat is meat from a squirrel used as food, generally sold or prepared as bone-in portions rather than as boneless cuts. It is lean, with a fine-grained texture and a mild, game-like flavor; characteristics depend on species, age, and handling. The common name covers different squirrels and does not identify a single uniform meat product.
It is cooked thoroughly, often by moist cooking or frying, and may be sold whole, jointed, or as prepared portions. Bone-in and boneless meat, and raw versus cooked preparations, are not directly equivalent; added ingredients in a prepared dish should not be counted as plain meat.
