Ground Gator?

[heritage14]

Any one have a good recipe for ground gator? I was doing some inventory in the garage freezer and found two packages that my buddy gave me 6 months ago. All in all it's probably about 2-3lbs of meat. I found some recipes through google that sound decent, but was hoping some one would have a "must try" recipe on here.

I would mix in some fresh herbs, like basil, oregano fresh onion. Maybe some dill. Mix some bread crumbs into it and make gator balls or patties (like you would salmon patties). Then roll in flour, egg wash, then cracker meal and fry. That would be good on a hoagie roll with some spicy horse radish, lettuce and mater

I did 4 lbs last year into jerky. Everyone who tasted it was surprised how good it was. Make sure you trim it well..........

I agree with allen. Gator cakes instead if crab cakes.

Well I ended up cooking it Monday night and screwed it up. The flavor was good, but I added way too many breadcrumbs. I ended up just frying it up in patties, but I didn't egg wash or coat it. I mixed some horseradish, mayo, and spicy mustard to dip it in, and made had some salad as a side.

Correct!

The pic is from a member on another site named jetskibrian. He caught the fish up in the Chesapeake Bay and if I remember correctly it went close to 19lbs or so...an absolute stud of a sheepie. Any way I cropped the photo in order to get those pearly whites in an avatar. They were just to good to let slip away in some random forum archives. Any way that's the story behind the avatar.

I've seen a lot of jetskibrian's photos on the FTC forum for Shamrock boats. He takes his souped up jetski that's rigged for fishing out as far as any other boat & takes amazing pics of boats an wildlife/ birds while he's fishing & tooling around. Small world. Didn't expect to see his name pop up here.
