Some Crocodile recipes
      #318231 - 19/07/18 01:08 AM

Two record sized saltwater crocodiles, Lolong and Dominator.





https://ourplnt.com/worlds-5-largest-crocodiles-ever-recorded/

No. 2: Dominator (6.1 meters/20 feet)
Dominator, the saltwater giant

Dominator has never been officially measured but it is estimated that he measures up to 20 feet (6.1 meters) and weighs over a ton. He shares the same territory with another saltwater giant Brutus (Adelaide River, Northern Territory, Australia).

Current status: alive

No. 1: Lolong (6.17 meters/20 feet 3 in) – the largest crocodile ever measured
Lolong (crocodile)
Lolong

Measured at 20 ft 3 in (6.17 m), and weighed 2,370 lbs (1,075 kg), Lolong was the largest crocodile in captivity. He was also the biggest crocodile ever measured from snout-to-tail.

Lolong was an Indo-Pacific or saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus). Australian crocodile expert Dr. Adam BrittonNotes 1 sedated and measured Lolong in his enclosure in November 2011, and confirmed him as the world’s longest crocodile ever caught and placed in captivity.

He was caught in a Bunawan creek in the province of Agusan del Sur in the Philippines on 13 September 2011. He was captured with the joint cooperation of the local government unit, residents, and crocodile hunters of Palawan. The giant crocodile was hunted over a period of three weeks; once it was found, it took around 100 people to bring him onto land. He became aggressive at several points during the capture and twice broke restraining ropes before eventually being properly secured. He was estimated to be at least 50 years old.

Lolong was suspected of eating a fisherman who went missing in the town of Bunawan, and also of consuming a 12-year-old girl whose head was discovered two years earlier. He was also the primary suspect in the disappearance of seahorses in the area. In the examination of the stomach contents after his capture, remnants of water buffaloes reported missing before Lolong’s capture were found, but no human remains.

The crocodile was named after Ernesto “Lolong” Goloran Cañete, one of the veteran crocodile hunters from the Palawan Crocodile and Wildlife Reservation Center, who led the hunt. After weeks of stalking, the hunt for Lolong took its toll on Cañete’s health. He died of a heart attack several days before the crocodile was captured.

Despite his initial aggressiveness, Lolong was remarkably gentle in his enclosure. Dr. Britton writes “This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone familiar with the effects of capturing large crocodiles from the wild. It’s a phenomenon called “capture myopathy”; the shock of being caught, poked and prodded, and introduced to a completely new and alien environment is a stressful experience, particularly for an animal as large as Lolong who has been master of his domain for decades. It might seem unusual to think of crocodiles as being susceptible to stress, but they’re just like any other vertebrate in that respect and something that anyone who maintains captive crocodiles should be aware of.”

The nongovernmental organization activist Animal Kingdom Foundation Inc., with the cooperation of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, had urged the local government of Bunawan to return Lolong to the creek of barangay Nueva Era, where the giant reptile was captured. But, in an ongoing debate, Bunawan mayor Edwin “Cox” Elorde and residents of the barangay opposed the crocodile’s release, arguing that he would threaten individuals living in the vicinity of the creek.

Lolong died in captivity just 18 months later he was captured, at around 8 pm on 10 February 2013. His necropsyNotes 2 revealed that he died from congestive heart failure compounded by fungal pneumonia, lipidosis of the liver and kidney failure. Here is a video which was shot when Lolong was alive:

According to Dr. Adam Britton, Lolong’s enclosure might not look pretty, but, in fact, crocodiles in the wild call muddy holes as “home”, they just look for any kind of shelter and the basic necessities for survival. So, Lolong was provided with those basic necessities. Crocodiles do not eat if they’re too stressed, but in Lolong’s case, he was eating and seemed to settle down into his new surroundings and behaving normally.

Britton also says “Anyone who actually met his caretakers would have realized he was well-loved. You might say they adored him.” He adds: “…there were also financial incentives to keep Lolong alive; he was popular, brought much money into the community, and generated a lot of national and international attention.”

So, despite his conditions look terrible to an unfamiliar eye, he was well-cared.

Britton concludes: “It would have been ideal to leave Lolong in the wild, but does such specious thinking have a place in our overcrowded world? A conflict between humans and wildlife can have major repercussions for conservation (not to mention human safety, which any level-headed human regards as being of prime importance). Yet at the same time, we can’t simply remove all wild animals simply because it makes us feel better, or safer. There has to be a compromise, and unfortunately for Lolong he was that compromise at that particular time and place. Perhaps his death can be a lesson for us.” (I recommend you to read Dr. Britton’s great article titled “What really killed Lolong?” on his blog.)

Lolong was officially certified by the Guinness Book of World Records as the “world’s biggest crocodile in captivity” at 20.25 ft (6.17 m).

Current status: dead

Butchering a crocodile

http://www.abc.net.au/site-archive/rural/content/2008/s2555101.htm


Cutting up saltwater crocodiles

By Carl Curtain from Darwin , NT

Tuesday, 28/04/2009

The crocodile meat and skin industry in the Northern Territory is still in a fledgling stage.

Crocodylus Park in Darwin has an abattoir which processes dozens of saltwater crocodiles every week.

Butcher Greg Graveson says the majority of crocodiles killed are around two-and-a-half metres long.

"This crocodile was killed last night so he's got a chance to bleed and hung up in the chiller. He'd be about four or five years old.

"We take the back-strap off so it's ready to be skinned. The rest of the body skin, under the belly, is the main bit of skin."

Offsider Dave says there's not much of the crocodile that isn't used in some way.

"We take the body meat off, which is usually the second-rate meat and then the tail, we'll bone that out and pack it into bags.

"We take the back claws off, take the heads off and we cut open the gut and take the fat out for making soap."


The back-strap of the crocodile is removed first.


Abattoir workers Dave and Greg hang a crocodile


The tail of the crocodile is seen as having the best meat.


The entire skin is removed from a crocodile with an air knife.

Crocodile


Char Grilled Crocodile Tail Fillet with Salad

Crocodile has become a very popular meat both in Australia and overseas and is part of a developing cuisine that is uniquely Australian. It is a succulent white meat with a delicious and unique flavour. With a wider range of products and cuts, crocodile is now available to suit all culinary needs.

Crocodile meat is low in fat and high in protein and is best cooked in the same manner as lean pork or chicken. It can be prepared into a variety of dishes using wet and dry cooking methods and is ideal in marinade or sauce. The meat is supplied trimmed of fat, vacuum packed on freezer trays and frozen. On average the gross weight per carton is 15kg.

As leaders in the crocodile industry, Australian Crocodile Traders employs state of the art processing with the most technically advanced crocodile abattoir facilities in the world, resulting in the highest quality available. This is assisted by rigorous quality assurance procedures (HACCP), Food Processing Accreditation (FPA) and code of practice. These high standards are regulated by Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS), Australian Fisheries Forestry Australia (AFFA) and Safe Food (QSAFE) resulting in the best quality controlled product available for export and domestic use.

Australian Saltwater Crocodile (C.porosus) is farmed and managed in Australia in accordance with the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) which was ratified in 1974 in Washington DC. The sustainable use of crocodiles has been an overwhelming success and is a model for other threatened and endangered species. Australia with its large land area and small population for a country continent provides an ideal clean environment for crocodiles to grow. The crocodiles are produced in a free-range environment and are chemical free, which delivers the best practices possible in animal welfare, conservation management and meat hygiene.

Prawn and crocodile laksa

Video: https://www.sbs.com.au/food/recipes/prawn-and-crocodile-laksa



Coconut laksa is a favourite around Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore, as well as here in Australia. The Asian influences within the cuisine of Australia’s Top End make for some fascinating foods. I made this laksa with a fillet of Australian saltwater crocodile. Don’t cut the crocodile meat too thick or overcook it, as it can be very tough.

Instructions

To make the prawn stock, heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large saucepan over high heat. Add the reserved prawn heads, shells and salt. Cook for 5 minutes, crushing the heads and shells with a wooden spoon until they turn vibrant orange. Add the water and bring to the boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes, then strain through a fine sieve, discarding the solids and reserving the stock. Set aside until needed.

To make the laksa paste, process the ingredients to a smooth paste in a food processor.

Heat the remaining ¼ cup of oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Cook half of the paste (see Note) for 10-15 minutes until fragrant and the oil separates, stirring regularly. Add the prawn and chicken stocks, along with the coconut milk, and bring to the boil. Simmer for 5 minutes or until the oil separates from the coconut milk. Add the prawns and tofu puffs. Cook for 3 minutes, then add the crocodile meat and cook for a further 30 seconds. Turn off the heat.

Meanwhile, place the vermicelli and Hokkien noodles into two separate bowls. Pour over hot water and set aside until softened. Drain.

Divide the noodles and bean sprouts among bowls. Ladle in the stock and scatter with Vietnamese mint and coriander sprigs. Serve with lime wedges.



Note
• The remaining laksa paste can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 month.

1 small eggplant cut into wedges
1 long red chilli, seeds removed and sliced
4 kaffir lime leaves
8 lemon myrtle leaves
12 curry leaves
1/4 cup mint leaves
1/2 cup coriander leaf and stem chopped
1 cup Thai basil leaves
Juice of 1 lime
Salt to season
Oil
Banana leaf lightly oiled and cut to fit plate, optional


Method

Heat a tablespoon of oil in a medium sized pot and gently fry red curry paste until fragrant.

Stir in tomato paste and diced tomato and bring to boil. Add coconut cream and reduce to a gentle simmer.

On a moderate grill cook Spanish onion, sweet potato and eggplant until colored.

Add to curry sauce along with remaining ingredients, with the exception of the crocodile and reserving some of the mint, coriander and basil leaf for garnish.

Heat grill to hot and lightly oil. Sear crocodile being careful not to dry it out. Add to curry allowing residual heat to finish cooking crocodile through.

To serve, place banana leaf on plate, black rice on one side of leaf and crocodile curry beside rice. Garnish with mint, coriander and basil leaves.

An Australian twist on a classic thai curry.

Thinking of trying some of these with other types of meat...made my mouth water reading them..

But have been dieting a bit, so right now, bugs are starting to look good..

Not sure what type of meat is like crocodile? Perhaps snake? Never had snake.

Some of the croc recipes look good. I like the curry one. Except curry would swamp the croc flavour I think. I will try the curry for sure though.

The stir fry, laksa, scewers/kebags, etc yum.

I think I will try the frying fillets first to get the maximum flavour effect without distraction.

After living near them and working at a couple of farms and hatcheries my advise for croc recipes is throw it out and buy some good quality beef, you wont be disappointed.

20 years amongst tons of croc meat and left the lot to rot. Buff or scrub cattle better alternative, If they are big or old the liver is still streets ahead of croc flesh. That said I would eat croc flesh before I starved to death.
