Gator. Fresh out of the back pond of a friend's house. I also convinced him to not go and kill it himself, rather calling a professional with a CITES tag take care of the job. We butchered and cooked it ourselves. Fried fresh it's an interesting nugget of meat, a little chewy and not unpleasant. Slice AGAINST the grain of the muscle, it can also be a little fibrous. It's best stewed in a gumbo though, all the gelatinous stuff renders out into the stew very nicely, and the meat is deliciously dark and toothsome without being tough or gamey.

Humboldt Squid posted:Orinoco Crocodile, which is now endangered (my grandfather would make me milkshakes with crocodile meat FOR STRENGTH when I was a toddler in Venezuela) but I don't remember it obviously. Holy poo poo. You know there are probably less then a thousand Orinoco Crocodiles left in the world, right? That is super-duper endangered. And they've been protected since the 70s? (Not very well protected...) Dang. What a shame. Eat speckled caiman. Those guys are everywhere. Probably do better in a smoothie as well.

Humboldt Squid posted:Yeah, I know Depends on when it was. American crocs were also super rare and endangered, but bouncing back now. Eat sustainable legally sourced gator and croc. It is delicious. Cant attest to how they are in smoothies though.

The story I was told was that it was Orinoco crocodile, but there's a good chance it was C.Actus (American crocodile) based on geography instead thankfully.
