Where to find gator meat? (Nola)

Yeah I've seen gator meat in there before. I think you have to call ahead and have him order it for you

Thanks guys, I'll give these places a call later today.


Now for the next question. What's the best way to prepare it?

Toss the meat in a bowl with some blackening seasoning. I like Prudhomme's. Do not coat with oil or butter or any other fat. Just meat and seasoning. Then get a cast iron pan hot over high heat. Once pan is smoking add just enough canola oil to coat the pan then add the gator meat. Don't crowd the pan and turn the pieces every 1-2 minutes. It cooks fast so each batch should only take about 4-5 minutes each.

Rouse's carries it in the frozen seafood section.

I've seen gator meat in Rouse's before.

On sale at Rouses's this week.

If you can get the jaw meat. That's the most flavorful and tender cut.

I've seen it at Baronne, but the sales flyer is for all Nola area locations I think so you should be able to find it at any of them.

Fried or in a tomato gravy/sauce picaunt.
