I had alligator meat once too. This was at a friends house, not a
restaurant. Since I always like to try any food plain first (to see what
taste you're starting with), I asked for a bite of it cooked before
continuing with the recipe. It was a little swampy to me. Like you say,
fishy and even a bit muddy with swamp decay taste. Not really much to
brag about.

That said, the final dish was amazingly good after adding many
vegetables and spices/herbs. More neutral tasting chicken would have
been better maybe.

I do have a problem with how they are caught though. Just as evil as leg
traps for other animals.
