California is facing a new immigration crisis, this time in the form of large, swamp-dwelling rodents called nutria.

Draggingtree Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 Chef Philippe on Marketing Nutria The following is an excerpt from the upcoming book by Philippe Parola: While still in Jackson, Louisiana, I teamed up with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife & Fisheries and launched the challenging campaign to market nutria. Because nutria was eroding the coastline by eating vegetation in the marsh, LDWF approached me to assist with menu and marketing solutions. The bottom line: nutria eradication was needed before severe damage was done. During the campaign, my friends and great Chefs Daniel Bonnot, Suzanne Spicer and John Besh helped convince a majority of consumers that nutria meat is very high in protein, low in fat and actually healthy to eat. Over the years I have proven that my instinct to create a market for exotic cuisine can be successful, and these chefs appreciated and believed that a difference could be made when we all work together at promoting my trusted idea. About the Louisiana Nutria: Nutria are large semi-aquatic rodents that were brought to Louisiana from South America in the 1930's for the fur farming industry. They now occupy and have caused extensive damage to the Louisiana coastal wetlands. More Information: Download Nutria Recipes!
