Instructions

  1. 1 Place alligator meat in a medium bowl. Pour in vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Mix until well combined. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 10 minutes.
  2. 2 Meanwhile, place cornmeal, flour, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper into a resealable plastic bag.
  3. 3 Squeeze off excess liquid from a handful of alligator meat and add to the resealable bag. Seal the bag and shake to coat. Remove meat to a plate, shaking off excess cornmeal mixture. Repeat with remaining meat, one handful at a time.
  4. 4 Heat 1 inch oil in a deep saucepan over medium-high heat. Working in batches, lower meat carefully into hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  5. 5 Make sauce: Mix together mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, and horseradish in a small bowl until well combined.
  6. 6 Serve fried meat hot with sauce.
