Method
Preparation of Alligator
- 1
Marinate the Alligator
In a bowl, combine the diced alligator meat and buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to marinate.

Prepare the Breading
In a separate bowl, mix together cornmeal, flour, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Cooking
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Coat the Alligator
Remove the alligator from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge the pieces in the cornmeal mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Fry the Alligator
Carefully place the coated alligator pieces into the hot oil. Fry in batches for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried alligator to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
