re: cooking frog legs other than fried.

Whatever you do with them, just remember they are very lean and cook quickly. I can't tell you how many gallons of frog legs my FiL has ruined because he bakes them for an hour. Makes me want to cry.

My personal favorite is buttermilk dredged and fried. Tossed in a little buffalo sauce and good Lord you talk about good. Broiled or sauteed with garlic, butter, white wine and lemon juice is the other way to go. An etouffe sounds mighty tasty and would be a good use for the backs.
