    Swamp Chicken

    I'm very lucky to have a great daughter-in-law and son-in-law. The later is all about hunting, fishing, or anything related. Thought you might enjoy these photos of some tasty morsels he retrieved about 2 days ago.

        My husband is a Mississippi River rat from Keokuk in southeast Iowa. He caught a few bullfrogs (and noodled for catfish) in his day. He keeps telling me how good they are (frog legs, that is), but I'm still waiting to find out.

          Regional question: What do you call the fork like thing on a stick that allows one to collect frogs where you live?

            It's always been a frog gig around here. Doesn't sound like it's a local word, I guess. Do you go "giggin'?"

            Frog gig here. No gig normally used in S. Louisiana. You catch them by hand.

            Hubby tells me you're talking about a frog gig per the lingo in southeastern Iowa. He says he would use a bow to shoot the frog gig to catch frogs too far away to catch by hand. Or catch 'em with a fishing pole baited with red flannel.

            That brings back my younger days. I was 19 when I learned frog legs were a delicacy! We hunted and ate them the whole time I was growing up. We had catfish, cotton tail, turkey, quail, and squirrel a lot. Being raised in the middle of nowhere had its advantages.

                I suspect around 100. My son-in-law did not provide the number, just the photos. I'm training him to provide real evidence, not just fisherman stories which are highly exaggerated.

              Love fried frog legs, I usually refer to gator as swamp chicken. I read the title, then saw small things in the picture, and went "Uh oh". Then I thought those might be gator wings "come from the forearm". It wasn't till I saw the second photo before I realized I was looking at a bunch of la ouaouaron. Season them bad boys up with some cayenne salt pepper, garlic, the roll in flour and deep fry!

                texastweeter I've heard gator called swamp chicken many times. For me it fits the frogs better since the frog legs really do taste a good bit like chicken.
