batter or corm meal it's all good. I like them all.
This is what my wife and kids like best:
Cut the meat up small nothing real thick, !/2 inch thick is just about right,
Clean it up good and dry it real good.
Crush up some saltene cracker by hand , not to a powder but coarse and rough.
Dip gator in milk and egg wash, just a little milk with the eggs.
salt and pepper to your taste, I like the pepper heavy!
Pan fry it till it's golden brown.
Kick it up a notch with a little hot sauce if you like.
You can use peanut oil or cresco, it don't matter, Just back off on the heat and cook it a little longer.
If you want it to taste the best, pan fry it in butter.
it is ummmmmmmm ummmmmm good. Just don't forget to take your Lipitor before you go to bed.
Try this on some bluegils or specks, you won't be sorry.
