The fresh seafood case at our local South Louisiana Winn Dixie displays rows of delectable delights: fresh shrimp, crabs, filet of different species of fish, lobster tails, and etc. But when I spotted this frog leg display among the delicacies of the sea there arrayed, my stomach turned.
This display looks more like lab specimens for Zoology 1011 than it does something I would drop in the deep-fat frier. In fact, I can’t imagine that anyone would pay $7.99 a pound for these skinless legs stemming from muscular posteriors, the sinewy layers of muscle evident as from an anatomy drawing . In my imagination, they must taste like formaldehyde. Ugh.
I think I’ll save my $7.99 a pound for more conventional fare. I can’t stomach the thought of consuming lab specimens.
