I recently placed an order for a medium size alligator for my son for his birthday who has been wanting an alligator to smoke for so long. I decided to pull the trigger for his birthday, and decided to go with Cajun Grocer. We received the package today, one day before his birthday, and I cannot thank you enough. It is a pleasure as a mom to be able to bring such joy to our children, but I couldn’t have done it without Cajun Grocer.
My gator came quickly and the head was still attached. This was the talk of the friends Gathering. Thank you Cajun Grocer for making me the New Smoking King. The flavor and texture was unbelievable. I brined it in crab boil then smoked it with a MIXTURE OF HICORY AND APPLE AND CHERRY WOOD and chips. The kids ran around with the head and feet . it was just an amazing function. Thank you Sladeworld6
Gator came on time. Was still frozen solid and packed very well. Will definitely be ordering from here again in the future
Ordered this whole alligator. It arrived quick, and frozen solid. Injected it, marinated it, and smoked it. What a treat for my family in California.
I ordered one of the medium gators, wrapped it in bacon and stuffed it with a cajun dressing. It was absolutely amazing. The gator was delivered on time and frozen.
Mine weighed a little over 12 pounds. We invited 14 guests and had a decent amount left over. The tail was the best part.
I ordered 2 of these whole alligators for my son's birthday. They were the hit of the party. The flavor was excellent, and the seasoning was perfect. I wrapped them in bacon, and everyone loved them.

A: The amount of meat each alligator would yield does vary depending on the initial weight of each gator. They do weigh between 8-14 lbs. Most of the alligator is edible other then the bones, feet and skull.
A: Alligator meat does freeze quite well. Cook the meat till it's just a few minutes away from being done, then freeze. Cooking the meat slightly underdone helps to avoid any chance of drying out when reheating. Wrap the meat tightly in plastic freezer wrap. Alternatively, place small portions of cooked meat in an airtight container that is safe for freezer storage. Any uncovered portion of the meat in the freezer makes it susceptible to drying out and freezer burn.
A: They are not vacuum sealed, but they are in a plastic bag frozen then shipped in a small cooler on dry ice.
A: The whole alligators are not measured by length because they are curled for easier transit and cooking processes. they are measured by weight. The whole medium alligator weighs approximately 11 pounds.

A: Depending of the size of the gator you want to use 3 minutes per pound for a average time but most important is you meet temperature in the thickest part of the tail reaches 190 degrees. Common seasonings used on a whole alligator is garlic, onions, bay leaves, black pepper corn, dill seed ,thyme, and whole allspice. Season is based of of preference. Alligator meat typically taste and cooks like chicken.
A: Hello, Please allow at least 48-72 hours for your medium size gator to defrost.
A: A medium Gator should fit fine. Medium sized gators are 11-19 lbs and are generally curled up. It may fit stretched out, but should definitely fit in the shape that it arrives. We pack gators and all frozen items with plenty of dry ice, so that they arrive still cold. To ensure this, we do not send packages any method that would require more than a 3 day transit time.
