The NEW TACO Tuesday

To start with YES I hammered the fish at a different lake from the shore yesterday at high noon . I even used the same jig I had tied on from the day before ! :cheers2
These fish were much like the fish at the other lake , 8 foot of water and wanting it drug slowly by them with tiny hops close to the bottom .I didn't stay long as it was REALLY beat down hot in the sun and it was my lunch break . My shaded locations are for whatever reason not as attractive this year to me , go figure right .
15 fish will hold me for 24 hours most of the time ,so to say the least I am ok till i hit the water again later today at another lake . :Rofl
So whats the NEW TACO Tuesday about since i kept zero fish for me and didnt defrost any crappie you might ask recently ? Well its a long story but about a year ago my wife insisted we try some ALLIGATOR . It sat in the freezer until yesterday .
I told her we will break tradition and make some fried in a cast iron skillet alligator tacos .Without making you drool all over your computer screens out there in internet land I must tell you this .....
Them tacos were about beyond ridiculous TASTY !
I will most certainly have them again soon and to be sure the thought crossed my mind about giving up crappie and just making gator my new freezer friends . :yikes
WOW and for sure ....
KABOOM is the word:highfive

I have to wipe my monitor down now from drooling. Looks tasty but did you hunt the gator yourself or buy it? Truly part of the fun is the challenge of hunting/fishing for the meal. Ahh who am I kidding I love a good burger and not like I hunted the cow.....hahaha. :Rofl

KABOOM!!!

got it in Mississippi at a road side stand along the way last year .
i have seen what looked to be the same packaging and maybe even the same brand at Walmart here in Texas .
one thing for certain, i trimmed a bit of "silver" meat off it like i would a deer and fried it extra crispy and ....
we sat around trying to decide if it tasted most like chicken , fish , frog , or snake ,,,,and lizard got in the mix of guessing as well :yikes

Wow, that DOES look tasty!

I don't know about down your way Dave, but up here where I am, the folks on the news started saying meat shortage due to the Corona virus and you couldn't find meat of any kind in the stores. Kinda like the paper products a few weeks earlier. So we was hunting cows, chickens and pigs from store to store...

havn't noticed any meat shortages here in STL area.

have had gator and it's good. havn't hunted for them, one thing I will let someone else do that has the right equipment for it.

it has been a little tough finding some meat but we are going hungry.....lol.

It’s tougher to ketch an alligator on lunch break. At least that’s what I’ve heard.

Some nice fish and the food looked great too, alligator is not my favorite but it eat able

i would probably start with smaller ones , they are mostly tail anyway and i dont have a real large ice chest here in town .:Rofl

Come September take a ride down here and I'll give you all you want. With the price down no one is hunting them and they are multiplying like crazy.

man, that looks tastier every time i look at it

Now I love some gator, thanks for sharing
