Entered for safe-keeping for ZWT. By Simon King and David Myers from The Hairy Bikers (BBC series). They say crocodile tastes like a cross between a firm white fish and chicken. This will serve 2 as a main dish or 4 as appetizer nibbles.

Steps:
- Soak the bamboo skewers or cocktail sticks in cold water for 10 minutes to prevent them from burning.
- Season the crocodile or chicken generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cut into strips about 1cm x 2cm (0.5in x 1in).
- Mix together the marinade ingredients and marinate the crocodile or chicken strips for half an hour or longer if possible.
- To make the satay sauce, combine all the satay sauce ingredients together in a small pan, adding just enough soy sauce to season. Add a little palm sugar or light brown muscovado sugar to sweeten, if necessary.
- Simmer very gently for five minutes.
- Preheat a barbecue, grill or griddle pan until very hot.
- Thread two or three strips of marinated crocodile or chicken meat onto each skewer and place on the barbecue or griddle pan or under the grill.
- Cook for a few minutes on each side until cooked through and golden, being careful not to overcook.
- Serve the skewers with the hot satay sauce for dipping.
SKEWERED CROCODILE WITH LIME & GINGER SAUCE
I found this recipe in response to a request for alligator recipes. Not tried but sounds wonderful. Crocodile has a chicken like taste in some respects but is much meatier like swordfish.

BARBECUED CROCODILE STEAKS WITH ASIAN FLAVORS (OR ALLIGATOR)
Crocodile tastes similar to chicken but with a mild fish flavor. The tail is definitely the best part. This is how Chef Anthony Hendre prepares it in Port Douglas in Far North Queensland, Australia. This recipe will work with gator as well.

Steps:
- Prepare a fire in a barbecue and let the coals burn down until they are white.
- Meanwhile, cut out six 30-cm (12-in) squares of aluminum foil and spread out on work surface. Place and equal portion of the carrots, leeks, gingerroot and lemongrass in the center of each square. Top with a crocodile steak. Add a slice of lime and pour about 1 tablespoon oyster sauce and ½ teaspoon sesame oil over each parcel. Wrap the foil to seal securely, lace the packets on the barbecue rack and cook for 6 minutes; at this point the crocodile should be tender. Open one package to check that the steak is done.
- Once cooked, slide the steaks out of the foil onto serving plates. Top with coriander, mint and sesame seeds and serve.
