One of my daughters tried the meat in Louisiana (the only one of the 50 states I've never visited) and said the meat is way better than chicken. Is it true?

I only had it in Cajun Chilli and it was too spice to tell anything!

If it’s done right.......if not you got yourself a plate of shoe leather.

I’ve had it a few times, and quite like it. I think every time I’ve had it has been breaded and fried in a form something like chicken strips. Has a good flavor, similar to, but not quite like chicken.

Like chicken, but a little tougher (chewy)

I had gator at a game dinner and it was the worst thing I ever tasted. It was real fishy and rubbery. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the way they cooked it because nothing tasted good except the venison chili. The gator was cooked in small cubes of meat and it was also made into sausage.

I had some in Florida that had been deep-fried. It was quite good but to be honest, dirty socks would probably taste good after being deep-fried.

The tail meat is.

I lived in South Florida and we LOVED gator. There is even gator jerky.

An animals’ meat is affected by what it eats. For instance, a raccoon that eats from a trash can is inedible. A raccoon that feeds from a corn field tastes wonderful. Most alligator meat is from farm raised alligators. Guess what farm raised gators are fed... chicken. You really don’t want to eat an alligator that is from the wild. They usually have a fishy smell- and not in a good way.

Small to medium farm raised gator tastes like chicken, good chicken if it’s not cooked for too long. Large gators, the couple times I tried them, had too much fat and were tough and chewy. I’d guess she liked it down there because Louisiana cooking is an art and way better than the cooking just about anywhere else, if you don’t worry about how healthy it might be.

Tastes like frog legs...which tastes like chicken...which tastes like...chicken.

Really if you like frogs legs(and I do) that’s what gator tastes like. Kinda like chicken....

[TurboZamboni]

Chewy. Like a cross between pork and liver, IMHO.
