Snapping Turtle

Robust, Savory, Complex

The Snapping Turtle became as colloquial as "Y'all". Snapping Turtle was buried in the Deep South where only places like Commander's Palace could shine it into "Fine Dining" once again. It is BACK. With technique and technology ever advancing, the ability to bring about the maximum tenderness, and to elevate the earthy and aquatic flavors of Snapping Turtle launch it across vast culinary possibilities. The push to bring back Americana in food gives light to the Snapping Turtle as a staple protein once more. SeafoodS.com supplies inspected, legally and sustainably harvested wild Snapping Turtle to any Chef who wants to honor its history while brandishing forward-thinking and innovative presentations. Even the classic Turtle Soup would represent a time-gone-by piece of culinary tradition.
