Gator Bites

Gator Bites was what it said on the menu at Gusto's which is on U.S. 1 near Southwest 344th Street. To the south is Key West. To the west are the Everglades. To the east is the Outlet Mall.

I had not had Alligator in several years. It is usually a bit disappointing because the restaurants that serve alligator usually serve it breaded and fried. The reason they do this is because the alligator meat has a lot of fat and soft gristle, and about half of the "Gator Bites" are mostly gristle and fat. The couple of pieces that were mostly meat were delicious.

Most people will compare alligator to chicken, but alligator tastes much better than chicken. Unfortunately, it seems like you often have to chew through a lot of fat and gristle to get to the lean piece of tasty meat.
