Moose in Kodiak

There are many moose throughout the state of Alaska, but sadly, there are none on Kodiak Island. We are lucky enough to have the Kodiak Bear, but no Kodiak Moose.
.

A few months ago one of Chris' friends went hunting near Kotzebue which is near the top of the state and shot an 800 lb moose. When he returned he shared some of the meat with Chris.

At first I was hesitant to try moose, but because meat (in general) is so expensive here you really have no choice but to eat the sustenance from the land.
.

My first moose recipe was with meatballs, and it was delicious!! It tastes just like beef, but without the grease and fat! It's wonderful!! When mom and dad were here we let them try a moose roast, and it too was delish!

I think moose could be my new "beef replacement" - it's fabulous!!
