Exotic Meats

Alligator

Alligator tail meat is white meat with a flaky, tender texture and a flavor somewhere between chicken, frog, and turtle. Alligator body & leg meat has a stronger flavor more reminiscent of mackerel.

This meat is from alligators wild caught or farmed in Louisiana, depending on season and availability.

Turtle

The flavor of turtle meat varies with its location on the animal and the preparation method, ranging from evoking beef or veal to being more potent & reminiscent of fish. It’s most often used in gumbos & soups.

This turtle meat is from fresh water snapping turtles wild-caught in either Iowa or Georgia.
