Creole Seasoned Grilled Alligator
Alligator is a southern delicacy in Louisiana and Florida. The meat is considered seafood, but has a firm consistency between chicken and pork with a mild fishy taste. It is very high in protein and low in fat. Gator meat is for purchase in the U.S. from legally sourced gator farms and can be found in specialty stores. I purchased mine for $14/lb from my local Asian market; found in the frozen section.
