Crocodile meat, typical Australian food

There exists in the world great variety of meats; some countries have in their flag dishes stews prepared with a type of meat. They can be combined and accessed easily. However, sometimes one does not expect to be able to eat certain types of meat since it was not thought that they were used for gastronomy, as is the case of crocodile.

For many, crocodile meat is a delicacy, mainly for Asians and Australians. In Australia, among their common dishes are those prepared with exotic animals: crocodile, kangaroo or buffalo.

The most commonly eaten crocodile is the Australian saltwater crocodile whose habitat is the Australian north. It can grow up to 7 meters, feeding on fish, turtles and whatever it finds on its way.

Australians who eat crocodiles indicate that it is very appetizing and has no similar flavor to any other meat, perhaps it is in an intermediate flavor between chicken and fish. The ways of cooking the meat are diverse but the important thing is that in the preparation you should avoid exposing the meat for a long time to the fire as it would dry out the meat, leaving it tasteless and without juice.

It is important that the crocodile meat must rest after it has been cooked; to keep it covered you should first find a warm place. After at least 5 minutes of rest you can proceed to eat the meat. The capping process is important because if it is not carried out, the crocodile's muscles do not relax and therefore at the time of eating it, the pleasant flavor it has would not be felt.

Crocodile meat, despite being considered of excellent quality, with the gift of seducing those with little appetite, is only limited to some because its commercialization makes it a relatively expensive productFor this reason, only a few know about the benefits and exquisite flavor of meat.

The value of crocodile meat is estimated at $ 37 per kilo. Meat pies are prepared from the meat, the typical Australian dish par excellence. Also fried crocodile with lemon aromas, crocodile burgers, etc. The diner who dares to try crocodile meat in its best stews will find many restaurants in Australia to visit.

    Why cruel? What difference does it make to killing a cow, a pig, a chicken, a partridge or a cod to eat them? I would like to try this meat.

    That is completely untrue. It is true that it is achieved but false that it is typical. Only in tourist restaurants you can get the Plato.

    What a pity for the previous comments, some comment although it is true that crocodiles are killed to eat them, what happens with corral animals, in case they do not know there are farms of these animals and many more such as ostriches, frogs, turtles and thousands more, to obtain their skins and make items such as bags, belts, jackets, shoes.

    Show us how to prepare the crocodile.

    Regards,
    I am from Ecuador, South America, I was curious to try the flavor of this meat, in which part of South America is this meat obtained, or is it marketed to this part of the world, here we eat guinea pig, which is guinea pig, venison, beef, haunches of frogs, chicken, duck, goose, coconut larvae, cow, bull, donkey, dog only in Loja, etc. Vegetarians do not like meat but they do not know what is lost, they say that we are murderers who eat animal corpses. If the meat comes from a hatchery and not from indiscriminate hunting, it is correct to eat it, I think.

    The consumption of meat of any animal implies that it is hunted or raised, in the case of crocodiles if it is poached and does not die quickly if it is reprehensible, but if it is the product of an authorized UMA hatchery, and this has an adequate management of animals, and it belongs to a cooperative or community, so we are supporting the conservation of the species and the economic resource of those who manage the UMA. In Mexico there are hatcheries such as UMA cacahuatal. The Colibri de la Antigua, in Veracruz. and has its CITES registration since 1999. The meat is excellent !!! Let's support the consumption of products of sustainable use of flora and fauna !!

    I recently saw a program about the marine crocodile in Darwin, northern Australia, they are invading the areas where they used to grow and are now populated. They attack where they least expect it from children to adults. I think that with this situation, due to the overpopulation that exists, they should transform it into a more accessible product and avoid so many deaths, controlling the overpopulation of crocodiles.

    They say that crocodile meat, due to the hormones released by the pituitary gland. And it prevents the acute progression of diseases such as alceimer.
