Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds alligator meat, cut into bite-size pieces
2 tablespoons vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
oil for frying
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons garlic powder
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons black pepper
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
1 tablespoon brown mustard
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Place alligator meat in a medium bowl, and mix with vinegar, salt, and pepper. Cover, and refrigerate about 10 minutes.
  • Pour oil into a large skillet to a depth of 1 inch, and heat over a medium-high flame.
  • Add to a large resealable bag the flour, cornmeal, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Squeeze off excess liquid from meat, and add one handful of meat to the resealable bag. Shake to coat. Remove meat, shake off excess flour, and set on a plate. Repeat with remaining meat.
  • When oil is hot, place meat pieces into oil, being careful not to overcrowd. Fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove to paper towels, and serve hot.
  • To prepare dipping sauce, mix together in a small bowl the mayonnaise, horseradish, brown mustard, and red wine vinegar.

The alligator fingers were a bit tough, but the flavor was good. I think I will try cooking them for a shorter amount of time next time.

These alligator fingers were a bit bland for my taste. I think next time I will add some more spices to the breading.
