Glad you asked! Although it is not a popular main course, squirrel can taste great if it is prepared and cooked correctly. The squirrel's age, size and method of preparation will influence whether you enjoy the dish. Learn to skilfully skin, clean and cook squirrel.





1) Rinse the freshly killed squirrel in water, ensuring it is entirely saturated. Leave the squirrel in the water long enough to soak to the skin; this will keep the hair together and make it easier to skin.





2) Take out the entrails using a sharp knife. Cut on the belly from just under the ribs, through the abdomen and toward the hindquarters. Remove the bladder first, being careful not to spill any urine on the meat. Open the pelvis and take out the remaining organs.





3) Skin the squirrel by slicing just under the skin from the hind end and over the belly to the squirrel's flanks. Take the tail and pull toward the forelegs, removing the hide.





4) To fry, cut the squirrel into pieces and dredge in flour and seasonings. Fry in oil until browned and simmer for 30 minutes.
I love this question because i live in virginia. Yes its very legal to have squirrel as pet as long as you keep it on your properity otherwise people have the rights to shoot it, its not like a dog. As said in the answer above. You gotta get shots, go to the local vet explain that you need shots, Best of luck let me know how it goes .
