I would think any of the small seafood stores can get it




I called a handful and most didn't carry it that I called. It seemed easy to get at the wholesale level, but not retail.

On the wholesale level it's a lot cheaper but you would probably have to buy a case. I used to sell it at my place for $6.99 also. Big Fisherman is high on their stuff. You might be able to buy a 12# case from a wholesaler for like $5-$6/lb.

Hebert's seafood in Boutte carries it I think. Most should carry it. Seems like it should be a staple at a seafood market.

I think Tommy's Seafood in prarieville has it also.

I got some at Chez Francois in Lafayette a couple weeks ago for about $6/lb

St.Tammany Parish is having an alligator fest this weekend at Koop drive in Mandeville. If you get off at I-12 and Hwy. 59,go north. The first left you can take is Koop Dr. It`s about a quarter mile from I-12.

How about straight from the "Swamp People" themselves?

Kliebert's in Hammond sells meat and all types of alligator novelties. That's the place that Mike,Bruce and Mike's son work at.
