Phil's Marina Cafe in Slidell, La, last exit going South on I 10 before you cross Lake Ponchartrain, has the best gator bites I've tried, including some of my own. They fry them and then soak them in what looks like some kind of Thai sauce. They are sold as an entree for $11.00. I usually get two of them and a large bowl of gumbo and a salad and don't order a main dish. Rouse's supermarkets are found in many parts of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. You can get a pound of gator tail for around 10-12 bucks and come up with your own concoction. I often fry them with local fish that we caught. Another good dish is an alligator kubiyan (sp?) which is done with a good sauce piquant. A layer of sauce, a layer of alligator tail. Continue until you fill up a large pot, depending on how many people you are feeding, and cook on low heat, usually for hours, while sipping your favorite libation. When done the meat should be almost falling apart. Serve over popcorn rice with veggies ( I like fresh sweet corn on the cob and spicy purple hull peas).
