Have a few questions about frying snake (Update pg. 2)

So i tried to bread the snakes before but when i fried them the breading would easily come off and the scales would stick to the bottom of the pan.
What do i need to do to make them not stick to my pan? (i dont have a deep fryer i have a ten inch proffessional steel skillet thing. Its all ive got).
What do i set the temp to? Med or above medium? I dont want it to bubble and pop me.
Thanks fellas.

Depends, is it water moccasin or ground rattler? There is a huge difference in the process. I always fry my water moccassin like I fry my black panther but I find ground rattler is better if I use the sasquatch method.

What type of snake we talking here?
Eastern Diamond Back best fits your needs, with Bagoon Viper and members of the Boa family the worst. Hope this helps.

I tried to pan sear this guy, but I'll be damned if it didn't cook all the way through.

No idea about frying snake, But this made me lol.
(I would guess you should probably remove the scales).

For GDCKS, I prefer to pressure cook the sob for 10 minutes, then bread and fry as if it were mongoose. Give that a try and best of luck.

I feel like packets of deep fried grass snake would sell well at church fairs.

Awesome thread is awesome.

It depends on their length and girth. Don't feed those snakes any hormones before you fry them. They say enzyte doesn't grow them any bigger but I call B.S.

I've only had a bite of fried rattlesnake (just to say I ate it!), and it tasted kind of like fried alligator--somewhat of a cross between chicken & fish.

Bear Grylls skins the snake first. Then saves the skin for a piss canteen later. I digress. Oil as hot as possible.

Is this before or after he tomahawks them into the ground like Chuck Norris to break all their bones.
