What does Platypus meat taste like?

You're probably not going to find platypus meat on a menu anytime soon. It's illegal to hunt or eat platypus in Australia, where they are considered a protected species.

However, there are some accounts from early European settlers who tasted it. They describe the meat as being tough and gamey, similar to duck or goose. It's also said to be rather oily.

Keep in mind that these accounts are from a long time ago, and the platypus population is much smaller now. It's important to respect the conservation efforts for this unique and fascinating animal.
