Friend brought me up some gator, don't want to fry it.......I want to grill it.
Any suggestions?
Never cooked gator before.....


Thanks!

 

no idea have you considered a swamp people marathon to get some recipe ideas? Those boys do not look like they are starving....

 

lol......They usually fry it.....I'm thinking some sort of Kabob.....


I had double hernia surgery a could years ago, hit it off real good with my surgeon........turns out he was born & raised down there with a number of those guys, knew them all...lol.


Guess I'll google gator.......

 

I would think some sort of brine would be good or a marinade with bourbon . Just not sure what goes good with gator.

 

Swamp People: Find Your Inner Cajun - Alligator Recipes

second recipe down - grilled by swamp people.

marinate it in a milk bath (enough to cover the alligator) with Cajun spices for 3-4 hours. It takes the gamey taste out of that there gator.

after you marinate it, take it out of the marinade, roll it in any additional spice mixture you'd like (garlic powder, black pepper, Cayenne pepper, etc.) and brush it with olive oil. Cook on skewers for 10 minutes each side (if large pieces) or until the meat is white and firm.

enjoy.

 

Don't get me going on food.. I'll be here for days...

I just talked with @ArmyRover about adding a Campfire Cooking section sticky..

How about one of my favorites.. Crawfish etoufee and grilled orange roughy.

That's awesome I didn't realize they had a recipe page

 

I have requested it and I am awaiting the powers that be to answer. Although I am thinking it's time to post a thread for Turkey recipes....

 

Crawfish pie.............

I'm a southern boy. So, cornbread dressing, banana and candied yams and a plethora of other items...

Turkey which way? Roasted, grilled, smoked, deep fried....

I recently made a turkey cornbread dressing casserole. MMMHMMMM GUUD!
