With coleslaw, pan fried green tomatoes, and a spicy mayo. Yum!

Yum is right

It's an assortment. We put all the little chunks we ended up with after cleaning the gator in separate bags to fry.

I'm a big fan of letting meat soak in Italian dressing prior to deep frying when cooking gator. Gives it a good bite and really gets it a good base for breading to stick.

That there looks delicious.

My BIL is a cane farmer but they have an alligator farm too, best meat by far is from the jaw, really tender and flavorful. Almost like dark meat chicken.

I have a cheek in the freezer. How does he usually cook it? Fried is good, but I want something different. I was thinking cut into little steaks and sear, or just pot roast the whole thing.

My dad makes a sauce piquant with it which is by far my favorite way to eat gator.

Not a big fan of gater meat to be honest I would pass it by for shrimp crawfish oyster or catfish etc. I aint ever ordered it for my self just for yankee visitors so they could try it. Its ol and when I have it I cook it. I like it fried ok long as it aint over fried. Ribs on the pit ok if ya get most of the fat off which I dont like at all.
Good in a sauce picant as stated but what aint?? I guess I cant say I dont like it but it aint my favorite by a long shot.

Fried 90% of the time. I've had it stir fried with some terriyaki sauce on a griddle and that was pretty good. I've also had it in a sauce p'caunte, it doesnt take very long to cook in a tomato gravy, it will get tender and break up easily.
