Beaver meat is similar to muskrat. The flesh is dark, tender and soft. This animal has scent glands that are found between the front forelegs, under the thighs, and along the spine in the small of the back. They should be removed immediately after the skin has been removed, taking great care not to cut into them.
Beaver fat has a strong flavor and odor, and should be cut away completely before cooking. Beaver meat was often soaked in salted water prior to cooking to draw out some of the strong flavor. Another method was to cover it with boiling water to which 1 teaspoon of baking soda has been added. Then drain and cook in the usual way.
