Gator Tail is very hard to get right. Its usually very rubbery (almost like calamari). The best way I have ever had it is cooked for about 12 hours in marinara in a crock pot. Nice and tender.

I'm from New Orleans

Got tail meat frozen in my freezer. Gator season is open right now...easy for me to get some cause so many friends trap em. Plus there's an alligator farm down the road from me.
