That was my concern after I left the message.  As for us buckeye ppl not like that kinda thing, well I'm not your normal buckeye.  I've lived in Arizona and ate rattler, I bow hunt here in ohio and what I shoot, I eat. This includes ground hog, squirrel, rabbit, deer, and whatever else I think I can make tastey. LOL.  I believe that's my native american blood comin outta me.  and proud of it.

Maybe someone else will see this thread and have an idea on shippin.

Thanks for the reply,

Love some gator

Tastes just like chicken!

Gator probably won't spoil, if you don't kill it before you ship it!  Where there's a will there's a way !

Kinda like a lone PA bear hunter gets a 500 pound bear to the truck.

You gotta wound him, walk him to the truck and force him into the back of the truck at gun point---Then finish him off. It's the only way!

You can order it direct from Gatorama - its not just a tourist trap, it's a large commercial alligator farm that ships gator meat all over the country.  

It runs about $12 / lb

Yep Gatorama is just down the road from me, they even have gator ribs, but the tail is the best part.

I never had any Gator, but I have always enjoyed a nice piece of tail.

Tail.  Breaded and Fried.

I love gator. When I lived in Miami ate it all of the time. Tail fried is the best but I have had Gator ribs with BBQ sauce (don't think it was smoked) and gator wings. All were very good but nothing can beat the tail breaded and fried served with a spicy tarter style sauce (one place I used to eat at called it swamp sauce). Tastes like chicken that lives in water. Places I have ordered from since living up north again are:

www.cajungrocer.com  - good stuff

www.exoticmeatsandmore.com - a bunch of different exotic meats

www.gatorama.com - My favorite, maybe I like gators with Florida accents

Great now I have to order more and break out the deep fryer. Just the thought of it mmmm....          

 

[silverwolf636]

Thanks. I'm checkin out all the links you all sent me.  Looks pretty pricey but I'm goin to try it. LOL.
