Besides the just mentioned aspects, frog meat will hold no strong odors and no strong aftertastes. If you, for example, would give the meat to people that didn’t know it was frog meat then you can be quite sure that they will never guess it either because it tastes quite similar to chicken.

If you’re looking for food with a fishy taste though then I’d recommend you to eat tuna or salmon as these will taste so much better than frog meat.
