My first attempt doing frog legs. Didn't take any pics of before & during, just after. Smoked @ 250f using pecan. I sampled 1 before the wife gets home. Tasted really good.
These are store bought. The ones we used to gig in Indiana were ALOT bigger. Anyway, they are all good.Thats funny you did this. We went frog leg hunting the other night and the whole time I was wondering if they could be smoked. Those are a lot bigger then the ones we were getting.
Well...the water naturally. You go out wading around in/around a pond/lake/river/swamp, what have you, with a light on your head, a gig in your hand, and some kind of frog containment device (FCD) somewhere on your person. Find said frog (the big bullfrogs yield the most meat) shine blinding light in his eyes to paralyze him, and then jam your barbed gig into him. Remove from gig, beat frog on head to finish the kill, and put in FCD. Watch out he will still jump out! Then, once you have gigged your limit (or run out of beer) take your bucket of frogs home. Maybe a rinse with a hose if you desire. Then take a pair of snips and cut off the legs above the thigh so they stay together. Grab skin there and "pull his pants off." Now its ready for the hot butter and iron skillet...or in this case a smoker. Great tasting meat though not much considering the amount of effort they take to harvest!where does one get frog legs
Thank You Brad.I just used a little evoo, sprinkled lightly with Jeff's rub. Left on smoker for a little over 2 hours, maybe just a bit much time. Like I said, this was my first time doing frog legs. I was thinking on marinating them in some Italian dressing for my next go around. I have a few other ideas also, but that will be for another time.Anyone else have any ideas, feel free to post em. Thanks.
From Da' Bayou and Da' Swamp!! Almost anywhere there is some water, creek, pond, lake.....you get the picture. You can make a simple gaff out of a stick to get them.where does one get frog legs
