A local remark to a fisherman who failed to catch any is "You're going to have to eat possum"

I asked a guy I know has eaten possum what it tastes like. (I was expecting the standard "tastes like chicken")
He said "It's about the same as owl."

Now that the South has been invaded by an increase in armadillos, they have been re-labeled "Possum on the half-shell"

Standard rule in the Gulf South is If you can't eat it...it's bait.

Big problem for Florida vacationers from up north is while fishing with your "Pocket Fisherman" from Walmart, you hook a Goliath Grouper (before political correctness set in, it was called a "Jewfish") You don;t necessarily catch one....he catches you!


"Mmmmm, divers on the half-shell"

There may be some flavor variance among the many Aussie ‘possums. If your a snake, they all taste like fur.
