About Crocodile
Crocodile meat is the edible flesh of farmed or wild crocodilians sold as food in some markets. It is generally cooked and may be grilled, fried, stewed or used in other meat preparations; cuts can include tail and other muscle portions.
The flesh is pale, lean-looking and firm when raw, becoming opaque when cooked. Its mild flavour is often compared with poultry or fish, but texture and taste vary with species, cut, age and cooking method. Fresh, frozen, cured or seasoned products should be distinguished.
