  1. Imagine coming home for a late night dip in there.
    when we were kids we played Jaws in the pool and that scared us, you know that last second as your getting out that grab on the foot.

  2. TO reboot

    Most every festival down here has a tent selling gator-jerky, deep-fried gator, gator-on-a-stick or some variation on that.

    I’ve hear it tastes like beef.

  3. Beins a retired sailor, I’ve hit many a foreign port, and ALL
    of them had food carts of some type that sold meat products.
    I never asked what those wonderful cooked meats were and they
    never offered. I just made sure they were cooked.
    The only place I ever worried was San Juan and their burrito
    carts…..Riding from Rosie Roads to San Juan I noticed there was
    nothing bigger than a chihuahua sized dogs running around at the
    speed of light. Where were the large dogs?
    My first smashed sammitch in ’80’s Europe was a wake up call……

  4. Gator is good fried.
    Taste like chicken.
    I had a fried salt water croc
    sandwich in Perth one time.
    I can still remember how good it was
    20 years ago…

  5. Used to be gators were only seen in residential areas that built out on the fringe of the Everglades, but that has changed in the past 15-20 yrs.

    We have a floating duck decoy chlorine dispenser in our pool and I’ve found ducks and the occasional ibis checking it out from time to time, but no gators.

    We did come upon an 18 foot gator on a local golf course and my annoying dopey BIL visiting from northern VA thought it’d be funny to antagonistically approach it “to see what it would do”. I informed him they can outrun a human but he was free to test it’s stealth and I got in the cart and left.

  6. I’ve eaten crocodile before when I was on vacation in Africa. That was back in 1995 when it was still relatively safe in Kenya. I probably wouldn’t go there today. It did taste pretty much like chicken.

  7. I’ve eaten gator a few times. The first was the best ever. Our family took a boat ride (small boat) through the Everglades in ’86 and we stopped for lunch at a shack/bar in the swamp that served fried alligator nuggets. Loved them. Tasted like a cross between mild white pork meat and chicken. Drool when I think of them ever since.

    Thought I get a dinner of gator in NOLA or the Lake Ponchartrain area a few years ago, but the dives we like to frequent on vacation didn’t have it on the menu. Couldn’t find any dives the last time in the Everglades either. Last year I bought frozed gater from the Cajun Grocer, but my preparation came up lacking in taste. Too expensive to buy that way again. I drool.
