It's all good if you know how to cook it.

@Jolly tastes like chicken?

Nope. Alligator ain't got much taste atall. In that respect, it's kinda like shark. You have to marinate it and season it well, for it to pick up flavor.

And beware the fat! There is nothing more bitter or nastier in your mouth than alligator fat...

See?

This.

Every time I've been to NOLA, I've been tempted, but, like bad fish, one bad experience will ruin it for you...forever.

It's sorta like McDonalds - it might not be the best, but you'll know that what you order will be consistent, and what you expect. If you can't be good AND consistent, you'll never get my business, and I'm not feeling particularly adventurous in my dotage.

I never want to be surprised at a restaurant.

They tell me Cochon has a good fried alligator appetizer. Don't know, never tried it.

Go for the key west pink shrimp. Yum. We fried up some snapper last night that was swimming that morning. So good and I learned a new way to cook skinless filets.

You took the right road. 41 is much more interesting.
