Alligator is over rated imo, almost like chewing bubble gum with seasoning. Would marinade for a week to tenderize, balsamic vinegar or beer.

Mustard then roll in Louisiana fish fry then oil at 350/375
Pretty easy

Have to agree. More of a novelty food to me.

I’ve always found that wild alligator can’t be frozen. Wild alligator tail fresh from the water to the grease is excellent.

Tenderloins are solid but what you buy is usually junk.

It’s fine if you just beat it with a meat tenderizer - so much that it gets too thin, just pound on it a bit and it is MUCH better.

2 cups milk 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper 2 eggs whisk together. Soak alligator for 6 hours or overnight. Coat with seasoned flour, fry at 350° enjoy.

This and the tail meat is good too!
The rest is just to much of a fishy taste for me.

It’s the same with most game. The smaller, the better.

If you soak it in butter milk for several hours it’ll tenderize it a lot.

We shot two alligators in Florida during season this year. Have fried it several times. It’s delicious. Just flour and Everglades seasoning for me. Taste like chicken nuggets..

Always found it better grilled. Fried always was chewy

There’s a HUGE difference in wild gator and farm raised.

Jowl meat is the way to go, extremely tender. I use a mango habanero marinade and grilling

Tail meat, cut thin, run through tenderizer or pound with one, 24hr buttermilk/hot sauce soak, fry dat.
I heard the Jowl meat was the tits but I have not had any yet.

Fresh small gator

If it’s not cheek meat u must trim diligently. Then it’s just dust and fry. Pick you up some Dat Dipping sauce and go crazy.
