About Fried squirrel
Fried squirrel is a traditional dish often associated with Southern and Appalachian cuisine in the United States. The preparation involves cutting the meat into portions, coating it in seasoned flour or batter, and frying it until golden and crispy. Squirrel meat is lean and rich in protein, making it a nutritious option for those seeking alternatives to more common meats like chicken or beef. It also provides essential vitamins and minerals such as iron and vitamin B12. However, frying the meat adds fat and calories, which can make the dish less healthy depending on the cooking oil and preparation method used. While fried squirrel offers unique flavor and cultural heritage, moderation is advised to balance its nutritional benefits with the high fat content typically associated with fried foods.
