Nutria - they taste like chicken

Presumably by accident, we got a delivery copy of today's Star-Ledger. The front page feature story was on the invasion of nutria into New Jersey. But more entertainingly, they included a recipe that used nutria meat. These giant rats are eating up wetlands all over the US. I've seen them in Louisiana and Oregon, but will have to start watching for them here. I remember a late evening hike in Lafitte, worried about walking into a gator, but being surrounded by the creepy chirping noise of hundreds of these swamp rats.
