Fresh fried Moose heart. It was drenched in butter and seasoning and was actually pretty good. Little chewy though.
Also, smoked turkey gizzard. Fucking disgusting.

For me it's ostrich. I've eaten a lot of elk and bison, but they're so easy to get in my area, I don't seem exotic (my mom's freezer is always full of bison hot dogs). I've eaten a lot of ostrich too. I had a roommate for several years who loved it and would cook with it all the time (mostly chilli, but he'd also make meatballs and other stuff with it).
My exwife and I once watched some people get served live shrimp at a fancy sushi restaurant. They were squirming around, trying to escape. They (the people) couldn't figure out what they were supposed to do with them. They asked the chef to demonstrate how to eat them, but he either misunderstood or was just like "lol, white people" and took them back, chopped their heads off, shucked their shells and returned them to the people.
Hmmm. I've had rabbit prepared 5 different ways at a very expensive restaurant once (had just gotten a bonus for the first time in my life and it landed on my wife and I's anniversary). It was fantastic, like dark meat from a turkey or chicken, but a tad gamey which I didn't mind.
Venison is delicious, as is elk. Buffalo burgers are solid, not much different than regular. I've had ostrich jerky but it's pretty much the same as most other jerkys by that point.
Had shark once, was very good and similar to swordfish.
Funnily enough all of these things I tried in the US, and none while actually traveling abroad despite adventures to most of the continents at this point.
A family friend once invited us over to celebrate a promotion. To celebrate, they prepared an expensive meal and had expensive alcohols. The star of the meal was a thinly sliced piece of raw horsemeat. It was not particularly interesting, though it was very tender. I think it was more intended to "share the wealth" than for its actual appeal and flavor profile, though I was a kid and there was a cultural difference, so maybe I'm wrong. Either way, it was an interesting experience.

Goat. Ate it in Greece. Roasted with fine herbs. It was delicious.
Does jellyfish count? It's a bit boring to be honest!
Second would be sea snails and they were pretty nice.
Alpaca.
I had a steak. It was fantastic.
I had clear, salty alpaca soup. It was food. I was in the Andes at some roadside truck stop. It was memorable, but the steak sounds much better.
