  Grind it with a little fat and spice it up. Makes a good burger. Add a lot of onions, peppers and 1 egg and 1/4 Cup of oatmeal. Bake at 325° in a meat loaf pan ... not bad.

  I like to make a Remoulade sauce for dipping fried gator.
  1 cup mayo (or 1/2 mayo 1/2 sour cream), 2T mustard (I do not like that FANCY mustard so the yellow stuff works for me) , Hot sauce, Worcestershire, Black pepper, garlic, lemon juice, chopped onion or chives. I have a friend that makes Datil pepper relish, so I add that too. I just start mixin and tastin till I am happy. Always comes out good.
  Better if it sits in the fridge for a day or two.

  I use buttermilk and hot sauce......put the desired amount of hot sauce in a sealable container or ziplock add some butter milk and mix ect....put in drained, tenderized gator meat.....add butter milk to the container or ziplock to cover the gator meat....mix, shake, ect with lid closed to make sure the hot sauce mixes around and coats everything.....let it soak for 12 hours or more....72 hours really makes your gator nice......pull gator meat out of milk combo and let excess milk drip off....bread with bread crumbs or Cajun spice crumbs, fish fry ect...hot oil and cook...about 5 minutes to cook just as you would fry fish....

  The only difference between FSU and all the other colleges are other colleges accept you into the university's. At FSU you are taken into custody.

  Lately I've been doing a lot of citrus / soy marinade with either brown sugar or honey (don't do both) plus a touch of cayenne. Some marinades have had a little cumin in there, some haven't. Been putting them on skewers and grilling and they have been great as apps, or with veggies as part of an entre.
  
  Curry still my favorite, though.

  In the January 2016 FS, there is an article about tripletail. That chimichurri sauce in the recipe would be fantastic on anything.
