About Frog legs, raw
Frog legs are a traditional delicacy in French and southern Chinese cooking, as well as in parts of the American South and Southeast Asia. The edible meat is on the hind legs, and it is pale, tender and very mild — most people compare it to a delicate chicken, with a fine texture closer to fish.
Frog legs are exceptionally lean, with about 73 calories per 100 grams raw, more than 16 grams of protein and almost no fat at all. That makes them one of the leanest sources of animal protein around. They also provide potassium, vitamin A and a little iron.
Because the meat is so mild and lean, it is usually cooked simply and quickly — floured and pan-fried in butter with garlic and parsley in the French style, or battered and deep-fried in the Southern tradition. Overcooking dries them out, so a short, hot cook is best.
