Well, because that time is amongst us! GGGGGOOOOOOOOOO DAWGS!

This is a yearly tradition for me! I have been turning a lot of people onto gator with this recipe!

To start with... find you some gator meat! I have had luck with small butcher shops. It usually runs $13-$15 a pound. Most of the time it comes in 1lb frozen bags. I have found a butcher in Macon that sells it by 5lb bags.

I like to soak it in butter milk and hot sauce for 24hrs. 2 parts milk to 1 part hot sauce.
Once it has soaked, strain it.

I then mix up 1 1/2c flour with 1 cup of Louisiana Fish Fry and 2tbspn of Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning
Give the nuggets a good coating of breading.

Drop the nuggets in some hot grease! They will only take about 4-5mins to fry up, usually once they float!

I've been enjoying it with some homemade copycat BK Zesty sauce.

This is really some good stuff!

Check little meat shops and butchers. It's frozen so most don't mind stocking even if it don't move fast!

I've checked all of the ones that I know about with no luck. I know a little butcher shop in Atlanta by my old work that carries it though. Gator is one of those things that I always forget how good it is until someone reminds me. I'm gonna need to take a drive down there after seeing this thread.

I need some gator meat. It will be 2 or 3 more years before I get a tag. I really need to find someone that sells it.

I think I'm up to two or three points this year. Always go back and get the points.

I wonder what a guided gator hunt will cost? Few hundred bucks I'd guess?

Not sure but whatever it is it will be worth it. I have 3 points now so I might get lucky next year.
