FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long does raw wild rabbit last in the fridge?
Raw wild rabbit should be used within 1 to 2 days of purchase or harvest if kept refrigerated.
Can you freeze wild rabbit?
Yes, wild rabbit freezes very well. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then foil, or use a vacuum sealer, to keep it fresh for 6 to 12 months.
What is the best way to cook wild rabbit?
Because wild rabbit is extremely lean, slow-cooking methods like stewing, braising, or pot-roasting are best to keep the meat tender.
How do I remove the gamey taste from wild rabbit?
Soaking the rabbit in a brine of salt water, milk, or a vinegar-based marinade overnight can help mellow the strong gamey flavor.
What can I substitute for wild rabbit in a recipe?
Chicken (especially thighs) or farmed rabbit are the best substitutes, though wild rabbit has a much stronger flavor and lower fat content.
Is wild rabbit healthier than beef?
Nutritionally, yes; it is lower in fat, lower in calories, and higher in protein and certain minerals like iron and B12 per gram.
How do I tell if wild rabbit has gone bad?
Signs of spoilage include a sour or ammonia-like smell, a slimy texture on the surface, or significant grey/green discoloration.
Do I need to wash wild rabbit before cooking?
It is generally not recommended to wash meat as it can spread bacteria; however, if there is visible debris from the hunt, pat it clean with damp paper towels and dry thoroughly.
