Is possum good meat to eat? Possums have been eaten by Native Americans and introduced to early European colonists in North America. They are considered a good source of protein. Possum meat is described as having a gamey flavor, and some find it comparable to chicken. The tenderness can vary depending on the age and sex of the possum, with younger or pre-breeding animals generally being more tender. Possum meat can be slow-cooked, roasted, or smoked, according to a New Zealand source. It's often served with barbecue sauce or other regional seasonings. In some Southern regions of the United States, possum meat is traditionally roasted with sweet potatoes.
