If you ever cleaned a turtle you probably wouldn't want to eat the soup.
been there done that: 13 of them in 4 days in 1978, all hard shelled snappers from 6" to 14" across.
They were in a 1/2 acre lagoon and killing ducks that were there to help with aeration.
Caught them on jug lines.
Yes the meat is really attached to the shell and not much on the legs. Do not get near the mouth even though you have cut it off at the neck it will still bite and not let go of you.
