Alan... 172 Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Went shooting on Saturday night and put my rabbits in salt water in the fridge in the cellar like I normally do for 24hours, but it's just dawned on me I've forgotten about them, so after 62 hours in salt water, will they be no good? Busier these days with a new born, easy to forget things lol Alan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ftm 3,357 Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 personally I wouldn't eat them but if its nice and cool they be ok [curries/stews???] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 They'll be safe to eat if they've been in a fridge, but they won't half be salty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alan... 172 Posted September 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 It is very cold as it's also my beer fridge, and we usually only stew them, at work at the moment will have to have a look when I'm back Quote Link to post Share on other sites

forest of dean redneck 11,183 Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Rinse or maybe soak for hour in unsalted water? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alan... 172 Posted September 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Think thats what I'm going to do, flush it out a bit, more worried about the water than the salt, but everyone thinks they'll be ok Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
forest of dean redneck 11,183 Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Stuff used to be preserved in brine(salt water) years ago and hotdog sausages tinned fish still is if kept cool should be fine,I just wouldn't add extra salt when cooking. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil cooney 10,415 Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Yep ,you pickled them and they wont poison you so you've nothing to loose by cooking them. I'll guarantee one thing, I bet they'll be tender. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDHUNTING 1,817 Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Can't see them being mega salty from that not like packed in dry salt or injected, only one way to find out though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
