If you'd been down there longer you'd done the same. Kinda like that little poop vein runs down their tail just like a shrimp that's where the flavor is.
poop vain HAHAHAHA Your suposed to soak them in salt water to clean them out befor cooking that gets rid of the Poo. I do the same with turtles I put them in a barrel with some water and salt , Change the water every day because they will shzit like a goose. I do this until they stop pooping in the water then I use just clean water for a couple more days. It seems to settle them down and the meat is not as tough..
Makes me want to go set some jugs for turtles and take my ol 22 and shot some frogs..
