CROCODILE
In northern Australia (which includes the top ends of the Northern Territory, Western Australia and Queensland) the Saltwater Crocodile is thriving, particularly in the multiple river systems near Darwin (such as the Adelaide, Mary and Daly Rivers, along with their adjacent billabongs and estuaries) where exceptionally large (6 meter +) individuals are not uncommon.
Crocodile has been described as a healthy meat due to its overall composition and for being low in fat and high in protein.
It has a mild and delicate flavor, firm texture. It tastes like chicken, no !..... hum... a bit fishy.......well, it is a succulent white meat :)
