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.

Steps:
- Assemble all of your ingredients and supplies. This process goes fast. Have a large plate with paper towels next to the stove.
- Set up a saute pan on the stove with at least a ¼ inch of oil, and have tongs nearby.
- Set up three bowls on the counter, one with a cup of milk, the next with a cup of flour mixed with salt and pepper to taste, and the third for the breaded nuggets.
- Cut the gator into bite sized nuggets. The nature of the alligator meat will produce organic shaped chunks, but keep the size consistent.
- Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, dunk in the milk, then dredge in the flour again.
- Put the twice-dredged pieces in a bowl to await frying.
- Heat the oil to medium-high, it'll be ready when the oil is shiny.
- Gently add nuggets to the pan, and be careful not to crowd the pan. Keep an eye on the nuggets, they only require about a minute on each side to achieve the perfect golden color.
- Once out of the oil, drain the nuggets on paper towels and enjoy hot with your favorite seafood sauce or remoulade.

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.
