Searching the web I found this ........... It has nothing to do with boats but it makes , making boats a lot more fun because then you can use them to get what is needed for this meal.
I had a little Beagle (Pete) a long time ago that loved being in a boat and loved chasing these critters a lot more , he did not fuss when it came to supper time with them as the guest of honor on the plate. As long as he had some in his dish.

I do about the same as in 1,2 and 3 steps above.... but I de-bone the meat and when it is browned I remove some of the oil and add onions , mushed or smashed tomatoes (caned ones will work) , bell pepper chunks , celery , garlic and some water or wine , let that simmer for a while so it turns into a gravy.
Then have a good meal. Serve it over a big plate of rice (Swamp Seed as we call it)

PS... The Cajuns and some crackers / old time southeners (myself included) call the wrabbits ... Swamp Chicken , the kids loved swamp chicken till they found out it was Bug's Bunny. :roll: ( some day I will have to tell you about the meal I cooked for the wife when we were dating back in the dark ages and the dang fool still married me. Plus she lets me do all the cooking , as long as she knows what I am cooking. ) :lol:
