Oh ok that does make a difference. Like the other poster said, make sure you trim all the fat off of the meat and you are probably going to want to run it through a tenderizer or pound the meat with a meat tenderizer hammer so it isn't tough. Alligator can be tough if not tenderized somehow.

And soaking it in buttermilk/milk is supposed to get some of the wild taste out of the meat. It wouldn't hurt to do it.
