    Wife does the cooking,rabbits boiled till the meat can be easily removed from the bones,meat then covered in a mix of flour and egg,this is then fried till crispy,mind you don't eat your fingers.

    Might I ask a silly question.
    After skinning them, do you have to hang them for a duration, soak them ect.

    Can you cook the same day. Apologies for the silly question, but mann they do look good.

    Rabbits must be gutted as soon as possible and then they can be hung skin on in a cool environment (ideally <5oC) for several days. They can be skinned and stored in a fridge on trays for a few days to age but insure there is no build up of juices under the carcass as this can taint or discolour the meat. Young animals require less hanging /ageing then older ones.

    Prior to use some people soak them in salted water (8-24hrs), this will leach out any blood and keep the flesh white and may serve to firm up the meat. This is not essential but at the same time has no negative effect on the quality of the meat.
    The meat will freeze well but is prone to freezer burn if not wrapped properly. Ideally only freeze after the meat has being hung or aged for a few days to ensure it is tender to eat other wise the meat will go into the freezer tough and come out tough.The meat can be eaten very quicly after the animal dies but once rigor mortis sets in it is best to let it take its natural course and then give it a day or more to ensure tenderness
