i dont know if there is a central market in knoxville but if they do ask someone in the fish section... usually frozen and if you are gonna cook it, fry the heck out of it.

I heard, "It taste like Chicken". Should be able to find some after the game, when they loose their tail.

You can order it here

Gator Bob's

From the site:

"The choicest cut is the tail meat which is white and very much like veal in texture. The tenderloin comes from a cylindrical tube inside the tail. The body meat is somewhat darker and has a stronger taste and slightly tougher texture. It is very similar to pork shoulder. Alligator meat tastes somewhere between chicken and rabbit, with perhaps a hint of frog legs. Alligator can be used in jambalayas, soups, and stews."


I know it's too late just letting you know.

The Crazy Cajun in Kingsport serves it everyday.

Also in Kingsport is the Riverfront Sea Food Company that serves Gator with Big Orange Sauce.

You can have it as an appetizer or as an entree.

I had it for lunch the day of the 2004 game and it worked.

There is a fresh seafood market on Kingston Pike that sells gator tail during Florida week. It is east of Kroger.

I bought some 3-4 years ago while I was in school there from the shrimp dock. It was all frozen and I think pre-cut. we deep fried it and it was ok. Same year is poured the entire game.
