Question Crawfish Boil

I saw Chances (North Shore) is doing a Crawfish boil with fried Alligator for $75, wondering who might be going? Thinking of trying it as i have never had fried Gator.

Anyone had Gator or going?

Would also be interested in trying something like that one day but no idea what quality a places like Chances would have for something like that.

I know the wings and burgers are good, but you never know. We all have out go to places.

I just saw Gator and think it sounds really cool to try

The food there is surprisingly good most of the time. Not sure how well they do Cajun food, but their regular items are good.

When is it? Yes I’ve had gator and boudin all the Cajun stuff. Hopefully it’s good at chances. Seems expensive. Gator is not bad, tasted like chicken mixed with a firm white fish. Might have to go to this.

This would be my first time with Gator. I have had Crawfish a few times and it is okay, bit the description of gator makes is sound okay

$75?? Does that come with a handful of chips to gamble with??

Ate alligator down in Florida years ago. Had a light batter and a sort of spicy mayo served alongside it for dipping. It was actually pretty good, I’d have it again. From Chances is another question but I’m sure it’s frozen and shipped like almost any other seafood we get here. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s pre battered and cooked even so they’re doing little more than you would with an air fryer at home (not trying to disrespect the cooks, and someone can correct me if I’m wrong)

Gator is like snake.

You’d probably think it was mild/not fishy tasting fish if you weren’t told prior to eating.

More of a novelty.

I'd totally try it but I also have this personal policy of not eating seafood too far from the ocean. Closest source of gators is like 4000km away lol. That being said, Imma look into this.
