Meat

Freshwater Crocodile

B tier

Freshwater crocodiles (Crocodylus johnstoni) of northern Australia are smaller and generally less commercially farmed for meat than saltwaters, though limited harvest and farm production occur. Meat is similar in mildness but volumes are small. Culinary use is regional and specialty—tail meat treated like other croc cuts. Legal protections and lower skin value relative to salties constrain supply; when available, cook gently to keep the lean flesh moist.
