You can get good recipes for crocodile meat.
Queensland Government - Recipes and tips for cooking crocodile meat
Crocodile larrikin-style
100 gm crocodile boneless tail fillet per serve
15 gm butter per serve
20-30 ml lemon juice
100 ml thickened cream per serve
Pinch of crushed garlic per serve
Cutting across the grain, slice the tail fillet into medallions and, if necessary, cut into short lengths of even dimension. Each medallion should be approximately 3/8 inch or 10 mm thick. (This stage can be pre-done and the resulting medallions laid out separately on a suitable tray and frozen for subsequent use.) Add medallions to the just browning butter and reduce heat to prevent the butter from burning. If the medallions are frozen, cook a little longer. Do not turn more than once. When cooked, place the meat in a bowl in a warm place or oven. De-glaze pan with lemon or lime juice (a bottled variety is suitable) and immediately add cream. Swirl and add garlic and bring to boil. Simmer till reduced, so that the sauce will coat the spoon. Place meat on platter, add juices in bowl to sauce, stir and pour sauce over medallions. Serve immediately, accompanied with a fresh, cold, crisp salad as a starter. Alternatively, serve with BBQ bananas. It is recommended that salad dressing not be used as it may clash with the sauce.
