Mmmmm mmmmm Gator the other other white meat. Had it occasionally on the gulf coast. It makes a pretty good Po Boy sandwich. A bit more dense than chicken breast.
There was a gator living in lake Wylie up here in North Carolina a number of years back. Just southwest of Charlotte. Every now and then someone would get a photo or video of it and it would be on the news. The news crews could never get anything though.

I've found reptile meat such turtle or gator is bland.......Only real taste is whatever you season it with.

Taste and texture as well, are both part of a dining experience. In addition, appropriate seasoning is key to the success of ANY dish.

I'm not particularly afraid of gators, but if my buddy and I were out for a day diving the river, we might just find a different spot to dive.

Had gator bites at the Richmond Bass Pro, Cajun Spicy. They provided sweet and sour dipping sauces to cool the burn. :D

We were vacationing in Florida a couple of years ago and were just at the south end of Lake Okeechobee in a nice RV park. There was a Love's gas station just down the road and I stopped there to fuel the SUV when I saw a young man fueling up a four wheel drive pickup in the next aisle.
The truck had a sign on the door that Gator "Removal" and I couldn't help but notice the young man had only half of his right hand. I just had to ask.

He was very nice and said his dad owned the business and a gator had latched onto his had when he was sixteen and helping out with a problem gator. The gator latched onto his hand and then rolled tearing off the thumb and two fingers. I asked why the heck he was still doing this job and he laughed and sad, "Well, Dad owns the company, so...?". :roll:
