INGREDIENTS

  • Main Ingredients

    • 1 pound Louisiana alligator prime filet

  • Cooking Fat

    • 4 cups vegetable oil

  • Seasoning

    • Fish fry mix (enough to coat nuggets)

STEPS

1

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350°F (175°C).

2

Pour fish fry mix into a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add alligator nuggets, reseal the bag, and shake to coat thoroughly. Let stand for 5 minutes, then shake again.

3

Place half of the seasoned alligator nuggets in the deep fryer. Cook until golden brown and nuggets float to the top of the oil, about 3 minutes. Nuggets should reach an internal temperature of at least 160°F (70°C). Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate using tongs.

4

Repeat the frying process with the remaining half of the nuggets. Serve immediately with your preferred dipping sauce.
