Crocodile for dinner?

A lovely friend of ours, Helen in Wewak, on the north coast of PNG, recently sent us an eski (cool box) full of tropical fruit, including Kulau (Young Pineapples, great for drinking), pineapples and avocados. She also included a surprise, some Crocodile Tail fillets.

Helen assured me you cook them just like chicken and they basically taste the same, she says in Wewak, Crocodile fillets are cheaper than chicken! So I decided to try it out on one of my standard chicken recipes. Ryan helped to cook it all and it did taste very similar to chicken. Unfortunately, we let it defrost first, which left the croc meat quite dry. Mr Google says to cook it from frozen so it doesn’t dry out. Well, we learnt something new! :-)
