What a wuss! They wouldn't hurt you if they were totally freezer burned! All freezer burn is, is drying the moisture out of meat while being frozen. We recently cleaned out two big freezers, and found hamburger, steaks, roasts, all kinds of stuff buried. Didn't throw any of it away. Just ate meat balls fixed with the last of some of it that was at least seven years old. We learned a trick using buttermilk, to marinate in, for at least overnight that helps tremendously. It ain't as good as the new stuff, but it is for sure edible, and my arse is too tight to just throw it!

I think they will be just fine since they were frozen in water. Since you won't have to worry about freezer burn the only other thing about long term freezing is the fats/oils in meat getting rancid, and I doubt that frog leg meat has little if any fat.
An example would be frozen salmon; salmon has a lot of oils and will get somewhat rancid and fishy tasting after long term freezing (unless kept at extremely cold conditions).
Halibut on the other hand is a very lean fish and will retain a good flavor when frozen much, much longer than will salmon.

I have never waited longer than the next day to eat any frog legs I caught. At 6:00pm on June 8th, you'll be able to catch some fresh frog legs in Ohio.
Keith I'm waiting for that day Keith. I really don't know how this happened because frog legs are in my top 3 of favorite things to eat. I'm upset that I did that, but I did make bait out of them so it wasn't a total loss.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Might be like chewing on a gummy bear,but go ahead and eat them.It will bolster your immune system.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

You wussed out! I can't believe you didn't at least try them before you chucked them. I ate some fish awhile back that was prolly ten years old, froze in water, and tasted good! (shakes head)

frozen is frozen. I'd eat them. Especially deep freezer ones. I got deer sausage that old I'm eating. Roasts. Hams. Turkeys. Deep Freezer stuff lasts a long time. yup frozen is frozen,even if a little freezer burned its ok.
