Beaver tail was a delicacy amongst mountain men as it's a great source of fat, which can be hard to find in the wild. Simply grill the tail over high heat, crack it open, and use the fatty goodness that's inside the tail the same way chefs use bone marrow. It makes for a very delicious appetizer. | MeatEater
