WHOLE FRYER RABBIT 2.95 LBS

This Whole Rabbit Fryer (2.95 lbs) is a lean, mild-flavored protein traditionally used in braising, roasting, and stewing. Rabbit meat is fine-grained and delicate, with characteristics closer to dark-meat chicken than to game meats. Because of its low fat content, rabbit benefits from moisture-driven cooking methods and thoughtful temperature control.

This product is sold whole, allowing for flexible breakdown or traditional whole-animal preparation.
