Soak em for 15 minutes in saltwater to get the critters out then rinse. Some soak overnight but I think it kills that great nutty flavor. Then I either-A: salt, pepper, and dust with cornmeal then deep fry til golden. Usually just 4-5 mins. Or, B: salt, pepper, and sautée in butter in a cast iron skillet. I don't like a lot of flour/eggs-crackers like some, I wanna taste the mushroom, not the breading.
I went with (A) on Sunday eve, with half a small deer tenderloin, grilled whole with an ice cold Shiner Bock to wash it down. :trink40: Fit for a king I tell ya!

When I first saw this I was thinking great another Rick Pitino thread (morals) and I was going to simply respond "no he has none"

I really love them and the weather was really good today for them to pop thru the leaves. Sadly, all the places I used to hunt are now covered in nice lawns, asphalt and houses. I quit looking for them a few years ago.

Are morels the same as molly moochers?

Molly moochers, dry land fish, hickory chickens, merkels, etc. All the same!

You're a braver man than I. I have no idea how to identify them. I can pick greens from a fenceline, but not mushrooms.

Morels are easy CBBN, to identify, not to find :) There are "false morels", which are toxic, but they don't have a hollow stem, and the stem attaches at the top with the cap " hanging" from it. Morels have hollow stems, and attach at the bottom of the cap.
