Although we’ve often been warned to stay clear of snapping turtles, these tasty morsels deliver a punch of flavor with every bite. If you are running out of ideas for what to make for dinner or you want to serve something truly special and rare, look no further than our premium snapping turtle meat. Wholey’s Market ships fresh seafood, meats, and specialties straight to your door so you can spend less time brainstorming recipes and more time creating memories around the dinner table. What better way to shake up your midweek meal routine or introduce an exhilarating delicacy to your family than with our boneless snapping turtle meat? Each order we provide includes up to five pounds of delicious meat, so you can conveniently store for later use or use it all in one large recipe.


Snapping turtle meat is often thought of as a summertime treat, but you can create scrumptious gumbos, soups, sauces, nuggets, and other tasty delights for any occasion or celebration. Snapping turtles can average 10 to 12 inches in upper shell length and weigh between 15 to 25 pounds, making them a hearty choice for any large dinner party or family of hungry mouths to feed. Although boneless snapping turtle meat can be breaded and pan-fried or prepared in a variety of ways, low heat and slow cooking methods can produce the best results for such lean meat.


Our flavorful snapping turtle meat can add a bit of gourmet to your repertoire and inspire family recipes to pass down for years to come. If you have any questions about our inventory, shipping, or creating an account with us, please contact a member of our team today.
