Iguana by the pound While Asson and other South Florida iguana lovers can nab the lizards for free and with little difficulty, their peers in other states order iguana meat from companies such as Exotic Meat Markets. Anshu Pathak, owner of the California-based company, told the South Florida Sun Sentinel that he imports 10,000 pounds of iguana a month from Florida trappers.
He said he sells the meat to customers and restaurants across the United States, offering boneless meat for $59.99 per pound and whole, skin-on iguana for $49.99.
Pathak said his facility has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. When he receives live iguanas, he said, he puts them in a freezer to kill them
If youre going to participate in killing them, [iguana] is good enough, healthy enough and tasty enough that you should absolutely take the time to cook it, too,

Freezes them to death?!
Where the heck is PETA when ya need them?!
I’ve had alligator and turtle soup. Will admit that the alligator was better than the turtle, but didn’t like either. Can stomach alligator with enough hot sauce and beer, but there are too many other things I like better.
“There is nothing quite like the stench of the iguana.”
Perhaps Mr Anshu Pathak, was dreaming of the old country and thinking in Rupees?
I’ve eaten squirrel and gator, both pretty tasty. I draw the line at bugs.
And I figure its got a lot to do with knowing how to prepare it. Hell, the French can make snails taste pretty good!
He cant afford a more humane way to kill the iguanas?
Swiss?
Wednesday Switzerland banned the practice and ordered that lobsters be stunned before being despatched to our plates to avoid unnecessary suffering in the kitchen...
Eskimo?
No 0bamacare, drop them off out on the ice floe.
Try Iguana wieners.
Bill Maher says he loves them!
So while our brave lizards are getting information for us in Iran, some people are actually eating their reptile brothers here at home?
Wish I was in Tijuana/Eating barbecued iguana....
Song?
Poem?
The first line of a free-form sonnet?
Free Verse?
Elegy?
Bill Maher?
Not a trusted source for anything.
All this time, I thought it was trained sharks with lasers in Iran?
The lizards did Stuxnet?
Nice work!
It’s even worse for reptiles.
They’re ectothermic and death would be very slow and excruciatingly painful.
They’d become torpid from the cold and just have to lay there feeling all their cells exploding with ice crystals.
Who the hell would do that to anything alive and sentient?
Maybe he can’t get his hands on a rock.
[ Ive eaten squirrel and gator, both pretty tasty. I draw the line at bugs. ]
You don’t eat lobsters or crabs???
Alligator and beer was a pretty good combo.
Tastes like chicken?
First thing that went through my thoughts when reading this article.
Apparently the ignorant-ass owner of that exotic meat company-I wouldn’t buy any meat from a place that slaughters inhumanely, hence I don’t buy meat at the big supermarkets in the city-I know where and how the local butcher shop slaughters animals whose meat they sell-bullets are quick...
