Notes: There is cartilage but the meat comes off easily. Very tasty! Plus you'll find its very clean meat compared to chicken or fish. A side note, don't waste the skin, roll it up and put it in a ziplock bag with 3 parts glycerin and 1 part antifreeze, enough to cover and saturate. Throw in the bag of the refrigerator for about 3 months. Take it out and lay it between newspapers to absorb the moisture. Don't leave it or liquid around for pets, antifreeze is harmful. Once its dry it'll be "tanned" and last for years for hat band or decoration.
