They say it taste like chicken, then again everything taste like chicken.?

p.s What you haven't had gator Dan<---- Im surprised.

 

[danthebugman]

What you haven't had gator Dan<---- Im surprised.

:laugh: Haven't really made it that far south that it would show up on a menu and even the specialty stores around here aren't that specialty. I have had other stuff like emu jerky and rattlesnake. The emu jerky was bland and the rattlesnake a little tough (I suspect though the chef may have overcooked it :dunno. Then of course there is my favorite...pan fried squirrel :drool:. My wife gives me crap for it, but man I love me some squirrel. I used to hunt with a friend of mine in high school quite a bit and his grandma would cook some up when we got back. Mmm, I've never been able to duplicate how she did it :crytears:.

I'm with Tom on this one, sauteed gator is to die for my friend!

Dan, I guess living in Oklahoma it would be hard to find fresh gator meat! :grin:

Not you too Larry, tell me...what does gator really taste like?

 

[TreeFrog Frank]

Hey, Dan... they have gator chunks at Turtlehead's. Or at least, used to. I've had them a couple of times. They're battered and deep fried. They were about the consistency of white chicken meat. Different in flavor, and very tasty!

And I can't remember where, but there is some store around town, that in their freezer section, has alligator meat. Damn, I can't remember where...

Makes our little side trip last week look like a swim in the park:

Maybe if they let us feed them, things like that wouldn't happen:

(and yes, that's a gator in the lower center of the picture.)

 

[SkinsFanLarry]

Kinda a richer, sweeter version of chicken to me!

....and before you ask, No, I don't have nothing to do with the "flying rats" that Dan so loves to eat!

 

[TreeFrog Frank]

That's exactly what I was thinking as far as flavor, Larry!

 

[Wink]

Gators, squirrels & flying rats......gotcha. Anything Im missing?

 

[itsme_timd]

Try as we might we just can't seem to keep them Florida Gators out of Georgia!

Fried gator, sauteed gator, blackened gator, stewed gator... it's all good! Here's some gumbo I made with gator tail, it's the darker white meat in the pic. (Had too cook it some more after the pic, okra wasn't done.)

 

[SkinsFanLarry]

Now that's a damn fine looking meal there Tim! :thumbsup:
