If your gator was chewy, it wasn't cooked right. Good gator is a little more on the flaky side. We have several crawfish boils down here. Big pocket of Cajuns and we are about an hour NE from Louisiana.

Have you ever had real dirty beans and rice, or gumbo. There was a Cajun stationed with me in Korea, we'd start drinking and cooking at 5am on Saturdays. By lunch time he was Justin Wilson, accent and all. Some of the best food that I've ever eaten.

Those Cajuns can cook now. We use to take the weekends off to go visit friends and party. I drank a lot of beer and ate a lot of crawfish. Only thing that drove me crazy about Louisiana was the the bugs. Some kind of red bug that would fly in swarms and coat your windshield like rain. They didn't bite or sting. Just aggravating.

Lived in Shreveport for 2 years, that part of the state irritated the hell out of me. But, to get out of Blytheville, sacrafices had to be made. Lol

Love bugs get even worse down here. Mostly black with a little red. They couple and fly in swarms. Have to wash the vehicle a couple times a week or more.

Florida has love bugs. I do not miss those at all.

Went frog gigging with some friends about a month ago. Had a great time. I also tried frog for the first time, and it tasted like chicken.

He gigged all my life normally, but about 7-8 years ago he started just shooting them. Either way I'm glad he does it, I always get some when I go home!

I used to catch crawfish in the creeks and sauté the tail meat in Italian sausage drippings. Then I married my wife who is half Cajun. Annual crawfish boil thrown right out on the table on top of newspaper just like the movies. Proper way to eat is the tail, then suck the juice from the head. A few brave souls will then bite off the eyes. I don't do the eyes. But the rest is a as good as eating gets. Frog legs are dynamite. As is a proper gumbo, étouffée, jambalaya, or au gratin. There are many offerings from nature that far exceed the offerings of Walmart grocery. Bear, elk, rabbit, squirrel, pheasant, prong horn, walleye, trout, etc.

Today, about 80 percent of the field lobsters have sealed their entryways. Usually, this is a sign of a pending dry spell. We'll see.
