Default Alligator Meat

I just noticed the new Asian supermarket near me is
carrying frozen alligator meat for $5.99 in 1 lb. packages.

Is this a good meat? The package says it's bone-in,
so I have no idea how much of that is meat, nor how
difficult it is to separate the meat from the bone.
I believe only the tail is eaten, and if it's anything
like oxtail, it would be full of bones.

I also don't have any idea how it should be cooked.
Should I succumb to the temptation, what are the
best methods? I'd consider BBQ, but there have been
air pollution Nazis around here hunting down people
who burn logs in their fireplaces, so I'm not sure
I'll ever BBQ again.
