Iguanas are an invasive species in Florida and experts have seen an increase in population over the last several years. Whether it's to help with population control, or if people just find them down right tasty, reports have been popping up across the state about people eating iguanas.
South Florida resident Brittany Peters is one of those people. "I like to promote eating what you harvest and know a lot of people kill iguanas since they are a nuisance, and I wanted to cook and eat them hoping to encourage those who kill them to also eat them," she told ABC Action News.

I ate alligator in Louisiana a while back. It’s a great way to lose weight, each bite takes you about 26 minutes to chew.
I live in Orlando. Have never seen an iguana up here in the wild.
Parts of it are rubbery. You need to know how to prepare it. We used to have a restaurant near me that served gator ribs. Couldn’t get enough of those.
Do they eat them rare or deep-fry them?
The absolutely very best meat I’ve ever eaten was moose meat taken in Ontario in the late 1960’s. Sauteed in butter and onions was the best my immature taste buds ever experienced. Maybe the excellent flavor and taste comes from the fact that moose eat aquatic plants and don’t forage nasty things like Cedar and other plants that deer prefer.
Based on a cursory web search, they can be grilled, steamed, or stewed. You’d have to pay me to eat them raw.
Had it prepared Creole style with tomatoes, onions and green pepper ... pretty good. Reminded me of a slightly fishy pork roast.

You happen to see,
‘What’s the best Iguana?
‘Chicken of the Trees!’”
HA! I hummed the same tune as soon as I read the title!
Great minds think alike. :-)
Fried gator tail is great. Iguana? Hmmm!
Now that there’s funny, I tell you what...!
Ostrich is freakin’ delicious. DELICIOUS! What’s not to like about a giant bird made out of steak?

POST OF THE DAY, FOLKS.
I had iguana in Guatemala. It was stewed in a seasoned sauce and served with corn tortillas on a banana leaf. It was really good.
:^) Hope you are doing well sir.
I sent this to my friends on in Cape Coral and told them I wanted to try this when I visit this fall. Iguanas are all over the place there. I will be sure to report back.
