Yesterday, as in Saturday, the day before today, Sunday, the 4th of July, I was in Walmart collecting the vittles needed for my annual 4th of July Grilling.
I was in the seafood section looking for salmon, when I saw that which you see above, which I had my phone take a picture of for documentation purposes.
Filet of Alligator.
I have no idea how one cooks Alligator.
I need to consult the Southern Belle, Elsie Hotpepper, with whom I consult when I am dumbfounded trying to figure out some Southern cuisine confusion.
Elsie is a gourmet level chef specializing in the complicated cuisine of the South.
From the Hotpepper I learned how to make perfect grits, hush puppies and fried green tomatoes.
You reading this in Washington, and other locations not in the South, does your Walmart seafood section stock Alligator?
Speaking of Alligator, of late that particular reptile has been in the local news due to there being way above the norm number of Gator sightings in Fort Worth's Lake Worth.
Lake Worth is an impoundment of the Trinity River, a few miles upstream from the downtown Fort Worth location of the Rockin' the River Happy Hour Inner Tube Floats in the polluted Trinity River.
I have seen no coverage, this river floating season, of Rockin' the River. Has this been cancelled again, like last year, due to COVID?
Or is this increase in the Alligator population the new reason not to be Rockin' the River?
