Try Something New: Alligator Meat at McClendon's

🐊 FREEZER FIND 🐊

“What’s next
 alligator?”


Funny you should ask.

We’ve actually got it.
At McClendon’s Old Fashioned Meats.

Not weird. Not wild. Just a lean, mild meat that eats easy — somewhere between chicken and pork.

But this isn’t new.

Alligator’s been on the menu for generations down south — especially in Louisiana, where Cajun cooking turned it into a staple. Fried gator bites, sausage, gumbo
 it all started as practical, use-what-you’ve-got cooking and stuck around because it’s actually good.

Fun fact — it was even eaten during Lent in some places, since it was considered closer to fish than red meat.

đŸ”„ Fry it
đŸ”„ Blacken it
đŸ”„ Toss it in tacos and don’t tell anyone what it is until after

Half the fun is watching people realize they like it.

👉 Limited supply — come grab some before it crawls off.
