Buying Tips

Rabbit should have springy pinkish-white flesh. The most tender rabbit weighs no more than 2 to 2 1/2 pounds (900 to 1,125g). Hare should be under one year of age. If meat is frozen, make sure wrapping is intact and there isn’t any excess liquid, which might tell you the rabbit has thawed and been refrozen.

Varieties

Rabbit comes dressed, whole, or cut into pieces.
