Details

Looking for something exciting to set your menu apart from the competition? Serve up a taste of classic Louisiana fare that your adventurous patrons are sure to love with this Big Pop's 25 - 27 lb. whole alligator! This gator is expertly farm-raised in Shreveport, Louisiana with no hormones or growth steroids - it offers an easy way to bring the flavor of the bayou to your establishment. Sometimes referred to as "chicken of the swamp," alligator is a lean white meat with a mild flavor that's remarkably similar to chicken with hints of fish and game. Its texture is soft, somewhere between white meat chicken and fish! The tail contains the majority of the white meat on the animal and is widely considered to have the choicest and most tender cuts of meat. However, the body, torso, neck, and leg meats are also full of delicious flavor, though some consider the legs to be rather tough. Best of all, this alligator meat is a great choice for your health-conscious patrons. It's low in fat and contains almost no saturated fat, but it's packed with protein! In fact, it's higher in protein than meats like chicken, beef, and pork, making it a satisfying and heart-healthy addition to your menu!

Alligator has been a bayou delicacy for centuries - this whole alligator makes it easy to offer your customers a sample of authentic South Louisiana cuisine. It's conveniently skinned and gutted, so all that's left for you to do is cook it up! Grilled or smoked alligator makes a show-stopping centerpiece at any picnic, catered event, or holiday meal. To prepare this gator, begin by completely defrosting it under refrigeration (this can take several days depending on the size of your alligator). Flavor the meat by applying a dry rub or submerging the entire alligator in brine and allowing it to sit for 12 to 24 hours. For a truly memorable presentation, try wrapping the tail, body, and legs of your alligator in bacon! When it's time to cook, preheat your smoker or grill to between 250 and 275 degrees Fahrenheit and allow the alligator to cook until the thickest part of the tail reaches between 185 and 190 degrees Fahrenheit, then serve it up to your hungry guests! This 25 - 27 lb. alligator is perfect for serving large crowds or displaying on your carving station.
