I was walking around doing absolutely nothing when my tummy suddenly rumbled and demanded “feed me NOW”. With the gnawing sensation I had to quickly find a snack and stumbled onto this kiosk grilling something exotic and unusual! Immediately my knees felt weak and my mouth salivated and I ordered a stick of crocodile satay!
Crocodile can be considered the other white meat and if you ask me, taste just like chicken! Blind folded anyone eating this can be fooled thinking it is chicken. However, ff you are fish allergic, best that you not consume crocodile!
Turns out the parvalbumin in crocodile is similar to fish and you may get an allergic reaction. I guess crocodile is a fish that taste like chicken? Maybe we should call it the River Chicken?
Will crocodile be considered as seafood? You may argue that crocodiles are only in fresh water! Not true, there are also saltwater crocodiles! So perhaps crocodile can be categorized under seafood to make it more “posh” and “luxurious” as a meat source.
Seafood are usually divided into fish and shellfish category, if you are interested in learning about shellfish allergy, click here: Can I eat other shellfish if I am allergic to shrimp or prawn?
