Anyone here eat Frog Legs?

I must admit, I do wonder about chytrid and how that bacteria affects humans. I suppose if meat is well cooked, it won't be a problem; but I would think frog legs, if well cooked, would be tough.

When hungting the occasional (invasive and non-threatened) bullfrog on your own, I see no problem with it either. My point was perhaps more directed towards commercial frog legs (buying them and therefore support it) and the global trade, which contributes to the amphibian decline. I should have been more clear about that.

Nah, I knew what you meant, but thanks for clarifying

Well cooked and over cooked are two different things :P If the meat is cooked through (all white, even in the center) you're good to go. Cooking it past that point would cause it to get plastic-y and tough.

Frog legs don't have a ton of flavor. Maybe a mild fishy flavor. The consistency is light and watery. It doesn't crumble like fish, the texture is closer to shrimp, but not as "crisp," or chicken but not as dense. It's hard to describe frog meat, it tastes/feels like frog XD

In terms of chytrid fungus, I know it is completely harmless to human in every possible way.
