Underrated extremely lean, low fat, finely grained meat

Wild Rabbit can be prepared in many ways just like a Chicken.

It has extremely lean, low fat, finely grained meat which carries a subtle mild gamey depth of flavour that makes it a very healthy addition to slow cooked Stews and Casseroles.

Best roasted, braised or baked 

Do have a look at our How to Cook/Related Recipes Tab for some great ways to prepare your Wild Rabbit

However fresh Wild Rabbit tends to be in short supply during the feathered Game seasons - but becomes more plentiful - after that season closes

May contain lead shot.

Season : All Year - currently delivered whole and frozen

Please order at least 2 working days prior to required delivery date
