Fried Rattlesnake
1.For fresh snake meat, clean the snake well and cover it in buttermilk overnight.
2.Drain the snake from the buttermilk and cut into about 3 to 4-inch pieces.
3.In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients.
4.In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs.
5.Dip the snake pieces in the milk mixtures to coat well then dredge through the flour mixtures to generously coat. Repeat to double coat.
6.Heat about 2-inches deep of fry oil in a Dutch oven or deep fryer to 350 degrees Fry a few pieces of the snake at a time until golden brown.
7.Drain and let cool on a paper towel.
8.Serve with dipping sauce.
For the dipping sauce: Whisk together 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon honey and ½ teaspoon liquid smoke.
You lost me at “buttermilk” but, yeah, breaded rattlesnake can be quite edible. Only after I’ve killed every cow and pig in sight would “snake” work its way onto the menu , tho. And you still have to be mindful of the fangs. An old friend of the family, years ago, died from a scratch from a fang that was stuck in his waders.
Oh, Yeah,-—no mayo either.
Ill stick to deep water snapper....
