Even the plumpest looking squirrel has very little meat on it. Most of what you see is just puffed out fur. You need several to make a meal and even then its not much meat. But if you bag a few the way to cook 'em is to pan fry them like chicken. Just don't eat the brain as consumption has been linked to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

Not bad really. I've had some pretty decent squirrel stew.
Eddie doesn't eat squirrel anymore since he found out they were high in cholesterol.
