Frog legs... Meat or Seafood?

[Fwismoker]

I'm picking some up this week but depending on what they are depends if i can eat them for lent or not. So are they meat or seafood, I'm reading both!

Anyone have a concrete answer?

I'd say they fall under he same rule as chulicken for the religious purpose.
So you can eat them on Friday during Lent.


This is just my opinion though

Treat it like Chicken for cooking. Google chimp and frog if you have any questions.

Oh i know how i'm cooking it....it will be just how i do chicken for sure.

I just wish i had a concrete answer as to meat or seafood. :noidea:

I've never seen a sea frog before so I voted meat.

 

[deguerre]

Lizard is meat, so I'd assume amphibian is too.

 

[Teleking]

Amphibian is both surf and turf in my book. If caught/ killed in water it's surf IMO.

Good eats none the less.

Frog is neither fowl or mammal. Should be okay for Lent.

 

[HookedOnQ]

I have to agree with ninja. Never seen a sea frog so my votes for meat also

 

[cmwr]

I consider it in the chicken category. Tastes like chicken!

Oh and by the way, I joined the Catholic church 2 years ago but I don't follow lent. I eat meat. My wife won't. She's hardcore.

I work part time in a seafood department at a big box grocery store and for Health Department reasons we have to keep the Frog Legs, which by the way we sell tons of, in a separate area as THEY (Health Department) do not consider them seafood but meat so as not to cross contaminate meat and seafood. Just sayin'

So you guys don't consider lake fish sea food? :roll:

 

[bluetang]

Screw the what if's, go with your conscience. For the record, I voted meat. And BTW, cool question.

In the Catholic church, Frog is not 'meat'. It is safe to eat while abstaining from 'meat'.

 

[stephan]

To me its meat the same way lizard, turtle or snake is. If it breathes air its meat.

This!



It's an amphibian and is good to go for lent. Mammals and birds are a no go, but amphibians, fish and seafood are good to go.



And to answer Fwismoker, no I do not consider a freshwater lake fish seafood. It's gots to swim in the sea if I'm gonna call it seafood.:becky:

Honestly frog legs are frog legs they have their own tste and texture just like its cousin the alligator
