In a bowl, soak the gator tail meat in buttermilk for at least 1 hour to tenderize and flavor the meat.

Marinate the Gator Tail

In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Prepare the Coating

Remove the gator tail from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge the meat in the flour mixture until well coated.

Coat the Gator Tail

In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Heat the Oil

Carefully place the coated gator tail pieces into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 4-6 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Fry the Gator Tail

Remove the fried gator tail from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with Cowgill’s Datil Pepper Aioli.
