While many lament the passing of hunting season and the dwindling of fishing season, we are slowly approaching frog-gigging season. Granted, one can fish all year long. And I do. But it's only in the peak of summer, when we're at 90+ degrees at night on the South, and all kinds of things come crawling out of the swamps, that frog gigging season hits high gear. July and August are the peak months, and they're almost upon us!
Anyone else like frog's legs? Gigging seems like a dying art.

Hand grab is hard core, sir! I'm of the gigging rod persuasion. Sharpened trident on a pool cleaning rod. Home made. But I've noodled a time or two for those swamp cats, and that was enough for me :) I'll leave that hand stuff to the Cajuns (whose motto, I understand, is "Is it dead? Can we eat it? What is it?")
:)

Perique, I love the motto. I have to save that one. My wife's a food writer. Maybe she can quote it, too.

This equals some of my favorite quotes, but none that fit this thread. Thanks!

Bradley's technique is the way we roll in Louisiana. No gigs but swift of hand. Toss them into a large wire crate and that way they will stay alive until you are ready to clean them.
I'll take mine sauteed :wink:

Good night in the Basin, Cher.

Cuisses de Grenouille is a national dish over here and almost as popular as Escargot. The French sporting gent favours a piece of red wool whipped to a hook as bait, a long whippy pole is then used to dapple the 'fly'.
