Lately I bought some exotic meats and like venison sausages and crocodile burgers a lot! Great lean meats and crocodile burgers were so juicy and tasty! Never ate a better burgers and with 6g of fat per burger that was a treat!

Does anyone recommend and exotic meats or other food good for us?:)

    I'm not a guy but...

    I love bison and buffalo. There is a place close to my house that sells AWESOME venison summer sausage. Elk is pretty good. I do remember liking turtle.

    I was not a fan of ostrich though!

    Ostrich and buffalo burgers are pretty amazing. The years my brother gets a deer, I'll have chicken fried venison and it's incredible. :)

    I'm not a guy either but I love gator tail with cocktail sauce, venison burgers and bison chili
    I also love pheasant, octopus, squid, eel etc...
    I've always wanted to try snake, but haven't found it easily
    Oddly enough, I don't care
    Much for chicken but still eat it .

    I live on the prairies and there is a lot of local game available. Bison, elk, deer --- all tasty and low in fat!

    Wow, that sounds amazing!

    I've only really had deer and bison, both of which were really good. Mealworms are pretty good if you're into that.

    I love crocodile meat. Kangaroo is also tasty along with emu, buffalo, ostrich, and zebra.

    Kangaroo and antelope are some of the best tasting meats I've ever had.

    I didn't even know squid was unusual. It's delicious! I wish crocodile was more readily available where I live.

    The only one of these I normally eat (well, depends on how my hunt went... which hasn't been so good the last couple years) is venison, but I don't see it as exotic.

    I've had (on rare occasions) rocky mountain oysters (i.e. bull testicles), frog legs, crawfish, alligator, bison, elk, ostrich, etc.

    Some of the things mentioned that I have never had an opportunity to try: squid, crocodile, kangaroo, antelope, springbok (the animal, I mean... I've had the alcoholic drink), horse, and zebra. Now I want to try some of it... if only once. And I need to find out who is @cityruss supplier.

    I'm a huge fan of Ostrich steaks, they're so delicious. Also love moose leg. Oddly enough I really wasn't a fan of crocodile. I think because to me it tasted like fishy pork, and I'm not a fan of fish OR pork.
    My meat supplier does a whole exotic section, in my freezer currently I have horse fillet, wild boar burgers, and the aforementioned ostrich and moose leg steaks.
    Variety is the spice of life. ;)

    Venison is a favorite, of course I'm not sure how exotic that is. Bison is very good, too. Have had crocodile and it always tasted kind of muddy to me, maybe it wasn't prepared properly. I like ostrich but it's not on a lot of menus where I live. The best meat I have ever eaten, however, is moose. Tenderest, moistest, most flavorful wild game I've ever had.

    Well being a real woman Im currently trying to work through the unusual meats. Bison is great, bison steaks, bison burgers...
    Kangaroo burgers are awesome but the steaks not so much (Maybe I over cooked it? Idk) Ostrich was kinda tangy, not to be repeated. I'm also really into those dead bug protein snacks in place of Jerky atm.
    Got a big bag or assorted protein insects offline.

    But wild boar is just amazing! Have bought a load now.


    I've a crocodile steak in the fridge right now. What did you guys eat with yours? I'm thinking home made fries and salad so far.....

    My Dad caught a shark on the beach when I was a kid, but he didn't feel like preparing it to eat so he gave it to some people who were watching.

    But then I just remembered while typing this, I HAVE tried shark and it was delicious.

    I tried crocodile tail for the first time the other day! Eat Kangaroo every day....

    Don't get other unusual meats easily where I am...

    Thankfully there is an African butchers local to where my wife works that sell all the exotic meats that have been listed, and a LOT cheaper than the online "musclefood" companies do!

    Tesco (supermarket in the UK)sell ostrich fillet steaks at a reasonable price of £4.99 per 250g (compared to online suppliers selling at £3.49 per 125g!). The Tesco ones are vacuum packed as well so have a good shelf life in the fridge.

    And there I was, having gone my entire life thinking that sharks catch you.

    Anyway, so neat, these meats sound delish! I’ve only had bison and bear.

    But also (gird your loins) pig brain, cow stomach (tripe), and bull/cow testicles. These were all traditional foods where I grew up. Brain is my favourite :blush: [insert Hannibal Lecter laugh here]

    I wouldn't consider venison, bison and buffalo exotic as we hunt or buy them from the local farm meat place often. I woud like to try crocodile now after everyone liking it so much, and I really like goats meat

    What is exotic, especially since there are people from all over the world on this site? I am in Europe and live close to the see, so from the things I have seen listed here for example, we have squid at least once a month, some times more often, same as other seafood. Also shark is not unusual for me, just a bit on the expensive side for fish. Same for ostrich, water buffalo, wild boar and venison, these are meats I see regulalry at the butcher's and occasionally buy, but the price is the main issue, compared e.g. to beef and pork. On the other hand, I have never seen crocodile meat.

    So being from Louisiana, I have eaten several meats indigenous to the swamp including (but not limited to) alligator, frog, and crawfish (the usuals). But one of my favorites is nutria. They are related to the beaver and quite prevalent (and a nuisance), but when roasted up with salt and black pepper, are quite amazingly delicious.

    I've tried Beondegi when I was in Korea which is pretty much silk worm pupae. I think I had one try before quitting and deciding it wasn't my thing.

    We can buy bison and buffalo meat at our local grocery store occasionally. I also like goat (especially in curry) but that is not particularly exotic.

    I've never been to Louisiana but I have this strong desire to go now. I love zydeco music. I want to go hear a great zydeco band and drink and eat and not be in NYC.
