A predator whose meat might not be as bad as it would seem at first glance. Crocodiles are not only harvested for shoes (one for all you Jimmy Nail fans out there), crocodile meat is considered a delicacy in many places around the world, supposedly tasting like a cross between chicken and crab. Although crocodiles are protected in many parts of the world, crocodile meat is usually farmed, so it's sustainable because crocodiles aren't at risk for extinction.
Various methods of preparation and cooking exist, including tenderization, marination, deep frying, stewing, roasting, smoking, and sauteeing. Crocodile meat is used in dishes such as gumbo and is used in traditional Louisiana Creole cuisine. Sausages are also prepared using the meat.
Cuts from the animal used include meat from the animal's tail and backbone, which have been described as "the choicest cuts."
