Alligator

Known as the Cajun swamp chicken, alligator meat is definitely in the must-try short list of the adventurous foodie, and not just for the shock value. This lean white meat (yes, white!) is lower in cholesterol than chicken and delivers a higher payload of protein. All this, plus a great fine-grained texture, makes alligator meat versatile for many preparations. So, from alligator ribs to gator creole stew, and the classic alligator legs, it’s always fine and delicious day in gator country.
