California Farm Frog Legs in Lemon Garlic Butter

Mountain Frogs are fully grown here by July. They are hunted and harvested in the wild all summer and fall. There are no farm grown frogs that I know of. Our butcher started selling frozen frog legs this week. Lean and tender like fish but meaty like chicken, this is gourmet with a simple pan fried recipe: preboiled new crop french fingerling potatoes, portobello mushroom, cherry tomatoes and frog legs, sauteed in butter and drizzled with lemon garlic butter sauce.
