In the middle ages there was a big debate in the Catholic church about whether beavers were fish (nobility hated eating no meat except fish on fridays and were looking for some variety).
It was argued that their tails are scaly like a fish', and of course they live in water. But on the other hand there's all the fur and so on.
So eventually it was decided that beaver tails count as fish, not the whole animal.
This led to it being hunted to local extinction in quite some places.
And now we have two questions:
- How does beaver taste?
- How does beaver tail taste?
I don't know about beavers, but their tails tastes like any other fried dough drizzled in syrup.
Beaver tails taste a lot like bear claws.
and 3rd question : does beaver tail taste anywhere close to beaver tail (the pastry) https://beavertails.com/products
