6 wild otters from Wash. released into NM river

The sun had barely peaked over the Taos Mountains. A half-dozen river otters from the Pacific Northwest seemed at home after being released Friday into the ice cold water of the Rio Pueblo de Taos.

I've heard that poaching brings out the flavor of a wild animal. I think it negates the "whadid i ever do to you" hormone that gets released into their system on impact.

The nice thing about Otter Soup is that you can set the serving dish down on their tails. It makes for a festive and decorative holiday center piece. Maybe surround it with some pine cones and and a picture of wild Canadian frontiers men.
