Alligator Recipes

 Alligator Meatballs from Tail and Scale Outfitters:

Make small (one inch) round meatballs of the sausage. Pan fry them until done. (Alligator meat does not "brown". It becomes a light grey color, but never really "browns" to a crunchy brown color.)
Place the cooked meatballs in a crock pot and cover with your favorite BBQ sauce. Jordan suggests Sticky Fingers brand. Cook on low until well heated through. They can also be cooked on low heat in a shallow pan in the oven. Either way, they're delicious!

Alligator Cube Steak:   I often ask our repeat alligator customers for their advice on cooking alligator meat.  Many folks cook the alligator cube steak on the grill. Marinade overnight in any good quality marinade. Oriental flavors with a citrus base seem to be the favorite. Grill over medium coals until done.
Cordray Brothers Alligator Sausage: Any recipe that calls for ground sausage will work great with our special blend of alligator sausage.  One family we know says they make very thin patties and quick fry them for breakfast. Another customer uses the dirty rice mix from the grocery store and adds browned alligator sausage  for a delicious side dish. If you have favorite recipes, let me know and I'll share them with our readers!
