BRICE PALMER'S FRIED ALLIGATOR BITES
I love fried gator tail, and the local restaurant in my area, The Black Hammock, has some of the best I've eaten. Unfortunately, I don't have their recipe. We can actually purchase gator meat, fresh or frozen, at some fresh seafood houses so this is something I would love to try cooking myself. This recipe was taken from the Texas Cooperative Extension Alligator Cookbook and is posted there as a recipe from "Tony Chachere's Cajun Country Cookbook". It sounds very good, and all recipes I've ever seen are very similar with the only noted differences being in the batter and seasoning ingredients. I hope you enjoy this one! NOTE: Servings and yield are estimated. Prep time DOES NOT include refrigeration time. Posted for ZWT5.

Steps:
- 1 Pat the alligator meat dry. Place the alligator in a medium bowl and season with the cajun seasoning, garlic powder, and hot sauce, and toss to coat evenly. Cover and allow marinating for at least 10 minutes at room temperature. 2 Remove the alligator from the dry spices. 3 Heat vegetable shortening in a large cast-iron skillet until it registers 350°F (176°C) or use a recommended electric deep fryer. 4 In a separate bowl whisk together the buttermilk, mustard, and eggs. Whisk well. In another bowl add the flour and season with some cajun seasoning as well. 5 Dip the alligator in the flour and shake off. Then add into the buttermilk mixture and shake off. Then back into the flour and shake off. Repeat the process until all is done. 6 When the oil is ready, add the alligator pieces to the skillet in batches, shaking off any excess flour before adding them to the oil and being careful not to overcrowd the skillet. Start with the larger pieces. 7 Cook the alligator, using tongs to turn occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. Keep an eye on the temperature of the oil, making sure the oil does not get too hot. Transfer the alligator to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat the process until all the Alligator is cooked.

Steps:

FRIED GATOR NUGGETS
Despite their unappetizing appearance, almost half of a gator's weight is edible, tasty meat. Of all that protein, the tail and cheeks are the choicest cuts. This recipe is a tribute to the Cajun culture that shares much of its territory with gators. If you can't get your hands on alligator, try...

Steps:
- Whisk the mayo, mustard, paprika, jalapeño, garlic, and green onion to make the remoulade. Season to taste with a few dashes of hot sauce.
- Season the alligator chunks with salt and pepper and place inside of a bowl or sealable bag with the buttermilk. Marinate for at least an hour, but no more than 24.
- When you're ready to cook, heat oil in a deep fryer or a large cast iron skillet to 350 degrees.
- Mix the flour, breadcrumbs, and Cajun seasoning. Spread across a plate.
- Remove the alligator from the bowl and squeeze out the excess liquid. Dredge each nugget across the breadcrumbs to coat. For extra crispy nuggets, dip them back into the buttermilk and then dredge in breadcrumbs again.
- When the oil is hot, carefully drop in each piece and fry until golden brown, or about 5 minutes, depending on nugget size. Work in batches as needed and transfer to a wire rack when cooked. Serve hot with the remoulade.
