We tried iguana in Honduras once, kinda like dark meat chicken with fish skin.
We were in a super sketchy little place, restaurant is too good a word for it.
The owner insisted we try his homemade hot sauce which turned out to be really
good. He'd packed it in reused ketchup containers with a piece of aluminum foil
for a seal, the sauce was working hard at dissolving the foil...

something else: lunch.
The Fort Lauderdale
<http://www.orlandosentinel.com/topic/south-florida/fort-lauderdale-SFL00009-topic.html>
resident and native Trinidadian considers eating iguanas to be a way of
life. Growing up, Asson learned to roast the island critters at roadside
and backyard gatherings. Iguana is a staple in the Caribbean, where the
reptiles are a native species and are known as “pollo de los árboles,” or
chicken of the trees. Their meat contains more protein than chicken, and
members of some cultures believe it has medicinal properties.
In South Florida, Asson is hardly alone in his taste for cooked iguana. He
has more than a dozen friends who eat the animal, and they frequently hunt
them using nets, snares and traps. “We are having a cookout this weekend,”
he said earlier this week."
