Crocodile meat is supposed to be healthier than other species. I’ve got no problem with eating a croc as I’m sure it would easily take a snap at me I were to encounter one in the woods; they eat people fairly often in the countries where they are common.

I hope the enclosures are secure… you would not want them getting into the Cam or the Gipping/Orwell, would cause all manner of problems.

Crocodile farm planned for Fens
An East Anglian farmer is planning to set up what is believed to be the UK’s only crocodile farm. Andy Johnson, from Oldhurst, near Warboys, Cambridgeshire has several crocodiles for breeding stock, including one which is 9ft long.
Mr Johnson said he hoped to establish a fully working crocodile farm, producing and selling meat in a farm shop.
“We’re trying to get an alternative meat in the system that’s more environmentally friendly,” he said.
“We’re just looking at farming them in the UK to see if we can make the job add up.
“As far as we know we’re the only ones commercially looking at farming the crocodiles in the UK, probably Europe.”

Maybe they could introduce a “catch your own” system too where you are let loose in the enclosure to hunt and take down your desired crock.

A bit like ‘pick your own strawberries’ mixed with adrenaline sports.
