The local favorite oriental buffet restaurant serves them, lightly dusted and
fried with salt n pepper, with some japaleno slices thrown in. Superb!

The only time I had them was in a not so great French restaurant and, sorry Goodweed, they did taste like chicken! But this thread has reminded me that I have a can of snails I need to use...

I have not had fresh, local frog legs for more than 30 years because we no longer have bullfrogs around here. I suspect pesticide use and other changes killed them all off. In the 1970s we had very good frog hunting here and our mothers would coat the frog legs with seasoned corn meal and fry them in Crisco or bacon fat. They were simply awesome. I had some at an Asian buffet a few weeks ago that were okay but didn't have the flavor I remember from nearly 40 years ago.

There are several bullfrogs in the water hazards around the Halfway House at the golf course I work at. When I would fill in down there last year, I was always walking around about once an hour checking on them. I was really wanting a frog gig, or better yet, an ultra-light rod-and-reel with a floating plastic worm. I hear catching a bullfrog on a pole is real fun!
