They taste like chicken. Darn good deep fried, makes their eyes bug out.

This, from https://www.mexicolore.co.uk/aztecs/flora-and-fauna/axolotl
"In the Florentine Codex the axolotl appears alongside two other sacred food items, maize and the maguey (century plant). Significantly, all three
play a symbolic role in the myth of the creation of the fifth ‘sun’ or world era. Book VII of the Codex tells the story of how Xolotl, an avatar
of Venus and evening star twin brother of creator god Quetzalcóatl, in order to avoid being sacrificed along with a group of other gods by the Sun -
prior to Wind (Ehécatl) blowing life-giving movement into Sun and Moon to kickstart our present world - decides to hide by transforming himself into,
first, a double stalk of maize, then a two-part maguey plant and then... into an axolotl! (He’s caught and killed in the end)."
