Crocodile farming is booming, probably because they're yummy

"Each crocodile... can fetch you about 5,000 to 7,000 Kenyan shillings for the meat (£30 to £53; $50 to $69)," says Mr Mueke. The meat is white in colour, and said to taste similar to chicken.

I ate a crocodile burger once at a food festival in - of all places - Brecon. I don't know if it was a Nile crocodile but it wasn't white, it was distinctly pink. It didn't taste anything remotely like chicken, it tasted like crocodile. Quite sweet, with a texture sort of somewhere between fish and red meat. I would rate it as "delicious" and would happily eat it again.
