summerinmaine Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 picked up some alligator on the weekend and want to know a good recipe to cook it up? I'd cook it up the same way you do rattlesnake. :brows: Dipped in egg, lightly breaded, and pan fried.
deziped Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Out of couriousity how did a chunk of alligator get that far North?
wolfpackjeeper Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 you can grill anything. I think in a nice teryiaki glaze it would be pretty delightful.
WahooSteeler Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 I don't know if anybody on here watch's Top Chef on Bravo, but on the finale last week one of the surprise ingredients was Gator. Stefan, the arrogant jerk from Finland, got stuck with having to prepare an appetizer with it and made a soup/bisque that the judges loved. If you did see it, you'll also know that he pulled out one of his killer knives and sawed off a huge hunk of that sucker's tail in about 3 seconds flat. It looked like a commercial for Miracle Blade or something LOL. I've had gator fried up in bite size chunks with a remoulade sauce or similar spicy/cajun sauce for dipping........very good.
jbhill Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 fried gator tail is pretty tasty. it has similar characteristics as chicken
summerinmaine Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 fried gator tail is pretty tasty. it has similar characteristics as chicken As I said, just like rattlesnake! :D
comanche13 Posted March 2, 2009 Author Posted March 2, 2009 i was told it taste like grouse but i was also told if you don't soak it it anything it'll taste really bad... dono if its true or not
Qui Gon-Jinn Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Don't know how to cook it.. I have had it blackened. Just be sure to eat it.. before it eats you. and have a cold beer with it. can't go wrong with a cold beer.
BLHTAZ Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 We typically just cook it on the grill with our favorite BBQ sauce :thumbsup: Gator tail is some good stuff. I would say it's a little more like pork as far as consistency.
mvusse Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 ...and have a cold beer with it... I wouldn't want to deal with a gator, much less a drunk one. :D
