Where did you acquire those?
I wish I could say I caught them. But I didn't. Food City sells them in the freezer section.
Good looking dog. Cur?
Thanks. Not a cur. Boxer thru and thru. Big loveable brat.

haven't been after them in years. in a drought year, nearly every frog in this region ends up in the North Fork or big feeder creeks when farmers ponds dry up. i could eat a pile of them with biscuits and gravy.
I can eat store bought/farm raised frog legs but imo they aren't remotely close to wild ones!
They're all farmed in China, so it's a "NO!" for me dawg
Wuuuuut?! Say it ain't so @TAFKAP !
Chicom dawg is what makes them so big!
Okay, now I need 'splaining... how in the heck, are frog legs Chinese here?! I traveled. A lot. Them critters were fresh from the pond/swamp. Perhaps, day drinking is the problem right now (see the Skynyrd thread in General) 
, but....
"Lt.Dan" posting about frog "legs," and hearing the Chinese are supplying us... is a bit too much for me at the moment.... Someone, pretty please, break it down for a hayseed?
I now, return me to another beer and Chris Stapleton.

They feed them sewage over there. Frogs and swai get big in a hurry. Don't buy them unless it says 'Mississippi Farm Raised'.
Chris Stapleton is good music. Drink a beer. Forget about that China crap. These are Vietnamese Frogs Legs.

I am pretty aware of them Asian folks... been there, done that. Got the memories to last a life time.
Had NO idea frog legs were imported here-that just seems crazy to me-thanks so much for info!
Oh, great shades of Elvis-I had NO idea. And I would NOT let my brother know about those!
I now, feel smarter for the info-thanks boys! Had NO idea. I'll just eat these here on, Skeeter Beach (TM). LOL.Wooden Arrow

all i've seen were from Louisiana. but i'd try them from china. once the frog is dead, it is a sin to waste food.
I agree, nothing like them home grown ones!

I'd definitely smash some LA raised food. But I go out of my way to avoid farmed food from Asia, especially China
My friend gigged a large one and he hopped away with gig in his back. Guess who got to hold the spotlight the rest of the night?
A lot of the Talapia in the stores are from China. No thanks for me.
Even non-Chinese tilapia is a trash fish with near-zero nutritional benefit.
I was watching a youtube of a guy in Florida cast netting for them. Apparently they have established in places there. He caught over 400 pounds in one day and sold them to a fish market.
I never heard they had near-zero nutritional benefit.

It's been a while since I read up on it all, but basically all the beneficial nutrients people seek out by eating fish (Omega-3's specifically) are lacking/nonexistent, and certain inflammatory agents are much higher in tilapia than other fish. So take a non-nutritious fish, bland-tasting so people prepare it in less-than-nutritious ways, and you're worse off for eating it while you think it's a good fish.
In 2026, replace tilapia with cod for a nutritious and still-affordable whitefish.
Personally I never have eaten tilapia. I prefer Cod or Haddock. You get some meat on those filets.
I used to eat codfish from a can that my mother fried in paddys. They were delicious. Can't find them anymore. Not going to pay the high prices for cod fillets. I'll eat Gulf shrimp instead.

Them Vietnamese frog legs eat flies from dead bodies.
I had a gig stick and many an Everglades frog graced my table.
The store bought ones are a bit different, besides being smaller.
