summerinmaine Posted March 2, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deziped Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Out of couriousity how did a chunk of alligator get that far North? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfpackjeeper Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 you can grill anything. I think in a nice teryiaki glaze it would be pretty delightful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahooSteeler Posted March 2, 2009 Share 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.

BLHTAZ Posted March 2, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
