A friend of mine from the south said its growing in popularity down there and I should give it a shot. I'm usuall pretty open about trying new and exotic things but alligator? I heard of gators eating pets and people but I don't know about them. If you've tried it let me know your honest opinion on what it tastes like including its texture and stuff like that. If you know any recipes that would be good too. Didn't Adam Sandler eat som barbequed baby gators in the movie Waterboy...hmmm. Starting to sound pretty good now.

Gator tail is actually quite tasty, and yes, it does taste like chicken. Very white, very mild, although very chewy. Most of a gator's diet is fish, although in more populous areas, they have been known to sneak a poodle now and then.

The tail is not bad, don't care for the rest too much. I've eaten it fried and in a sauce piquant. Has a little bit of a seafood flavor to it, but a little like chicken, too. Not bad, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

Do they even sell alligator in the shops? Sounds a bit rank to me!! I think I'll stick to something safe like chicken!!

Yep... we eat it occasionaly down here (south Texas). Tastes like tangy, chewy chicken. I like it, I have only ever tried it fried though.

I love it. It does not taste like chicken if it is cooked right. My dad and my uncle can make it and it is soooo good.
