What does Beaver meat taste like?

Robert W. Haight gives a thoughtful and incisive possible solution to the beaver problem in the Dredge Lake area but I have to wonder - just how palatable is beaver meat? I know I love beaver fur but would like a sample of beaver meat before foisting it onto the poor and needy in Juneau.

If it isn't good enough for the wealthy, why donate it to charity? The unspoken presumption is that the poor don't deserve decent tasting meat ... or that they should somehow be grateful for anything the rich don't want.

I mean, has anyone out there ever actually eaten beaver? I would genuinely like to know.
