Okay southerners, give me your best cajun alligator recipe!

[hey mommy]

I have 2 lbs of alligator meat in my freezer and I want to make it cajun style. Any recipes are welcome

[backtobasicsmum]

:hunh Where in the world do you get alligator meat from???? :jawdrop (Says the northern gal......)

[hey mommy]

My parents just came back from FL. with some... :yum

[Aisling]

Um, I'm a vegetarian, but....

...I'm coming to eat at YOUR house for dinner!! :yum :giggle :yum

[clementine]

we get them in the yarn sometimes, I never thought to eat them (I just check and chase the little ones with a broom.... I leave the big ones alone :scratch

[Joyful Mommy]

i didn't know that people actually eat alligator meat...
gives a whole new meaning to the poem "alligator pie!"

[hey mommy]

Well, it's illegal to catch them and kill them yourself. You have to buy them from a reputable place... My parents get it from gatorama (http://www.gatorama.com/)

[clementine]

that makes sense!
They don't look very easy to catch to me (they are just sitting in the pond , or chasing golfers off the course here :), but farming them makes sense--I am curious to know what you make, and how it is:)

Does the package offer recipes to get you started? Just curious if it is more meat-like or fish-like....

[hey mommy]

It is kind of like steak, but w/the constincy(sp?) of chicken. It's nummy... the gatorama website has recipes, so I'll try that..
