The frog is a vertebrate amphibian that lives in fresh waters and humid locations. Some twenty frog species are edible.
Frog legs are rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, and potassium. They are often said to taste like chicken because of their mild flavor, with a texture most similar to chicken wings. The taste and texture of frog meat is approximately between chicken and fish.
