Yep, like you I save those hearts too, very tasty. I tried saving livers but they weren't very good especially if that little green bile gland gets busted.
I don't get many squeelers, missed a chance this morning, I thought that they were cormorants until it was too late. We have tons of cormorants. and tons of coots. Any ideas on how to prepare coots, a buddy shot a couple opening day and he didn't want them. I didn't want to waste them, the meat looked pretty good, they have nice, big gizzards.
ive saved livers before and they were good...I just cooked em in a black skillet with some lard and ate em
