I had some alligator nuggets once which I assume were the off cuts. Tasted like lean pork with not much else to it. I heard the different parts taste like different animals, like fishy chicken the way frog legs taste, but I guess I didn't get that part.

Kinda cool to taste it I guess but I wouldn't bother again unless it was free. Pretty unremarkable, at least the shitty cheap parts I got. Maybe if you got some tail/leg meat or jowls you'd like it better.

if you ate gator in a state they're not native you fucked up. gator tastes like shit exclusively unless it's fresh. fresh gator is godlike though. fried gator tail with a squeeze of lemon is as good as it gets, it's good shit. if your gator was chewy and fishy it wasn't fresh enough and cooked shitty.

My uncle hunts gator in Florida because of course he does, it's fucking Florida.

My experience with gator is that it tastes like a mix between chicken and fish with a chewy texture.

Honestly frog legs taste similar but better and have a better texture so you might as well go bag some with a .22 and fry them up.

Our ancestors (assuming you anons aren't first or second gen transplants) considered eating gator to be kind of a taboo.

I've eaten gator tail as well as gator nuggets, which I could not tell you which part of a gator they were made from.
