I was gifted some nice cut and trimmed alligator tail meat.
I searched the TD food forum and discovered different alligator tail preparations....fried nuggets, Sauce Piquant, etouffee, chargrilled, smoked and more.
What is your favorite alligator tail recipe?

Something something something, then throw out the alligator and eat the cedar plank.

I have a friend that works at a gator farm. The jaw meat is the best you can get. He makes some mustard/hot sauce/ Worcestershire sauce marinade and then batters and fries them. I can eat my weight in that stuff.

Jowl meat is hard to beat. I grind the alligator meat and substitute it to make Turtle Soup.
I improvise using Brennan's recipe as the meat tastes the exact same.
I'll make a large pot of turtle soup and vacuum seal serving size portions for later.
IMO, soup > frying and serving like chicken nuggets.

My BIL is employed by a farm that has an alligato farm operation. Jowl meat is correct. Its the best you can get.
OP, alligator meat does well with brining. 1/4 cup of salt to 1/2 gallon of water. Bring for 8-12 hours. Then cook it any way you wish.

Go for the tenderloin. No trimming necessary, cut into 1/2 inch servings and fry.
