Iguanas are common on Marco Island off the southwestern coast of Florida. John Johnson, the owner of Down Goes Iguana, specializes in eliminating hundreds of these pests every year. Gulf Coast News in Fort Myers reports that Johnson advocates eating this invasive species--especially the eggs.
Although the eggs are small, enough of them put together make for a fine omelet. With 49 eggs harvested from his prey, diced ham, peppers, and onions, Johnson creates a unique dish. Johnson says that his iguana omelet "this touches the edge of the Florida man" meme. One local reporter says that despite their exotic origin, the iguana eggs taste like regular chicken eggs.
