In a survival situation, you can depend on the fact that you’ll have to eat some things that you never ordinarily consider eating otherwise. This includes a few things that you might use as bait to catch something that is good to eat.
That thought has some harrowing implications for sure, but what exactly are we talking about here? Well, take minnows for instance. Minnows are used the world over as live bait for the catching of larger, tastier fish.
But have you ever stopped to consider whether or not minnows are edible? So what’s the word? Can you eat minnows for survival?
Yes, minnows are edible and completely safe to eat when cooked. Though tiny and quite bony, minnows are nutritious, easy to catch and very easy to prepare, making them a great survival food.
You’ll need to catch a lot of minnows if you want to prepare a worthy fish dinner under the circumstances, but compared to larger species you can find minnows all over and catch them easily using a variety of methods.
This is a great technique to add to your survival repertoire, and you could do a lot worse than minnow for dinner. Keep reading to learn more.
