I found them to be kind of chewy. And I could taste swamp.

I would imagine they could be prepared to be quite fine. They can also be cooked into becoming something like shoe leather.

The one who prepared the ones I had was a real good cook, but not experienced with frogs legs.
Yeah, they need to be marinated first. buttermilk is best imo. Buttermilk is also best with gator and oily fish
as well.
