Alligator Bites & Tiger Sauce

I love to try new foods!  Whenever I travel, one of my favorite things to do is try the local cuisine.  You can really tell a lot about the place you are visiting by the food they eat.

I am visiting my family in Florida, and usually that means we eat a lot of fresh seafood cooked in every way imaginable.

Fried seafood, grilled seafood, boiled seafood; I could go on and on, but I am afraid I would begin sounding like Bubba in the Forrest Gump movie.

One of my families favorite appetizers is, Alligator Bites.  They slice the tail section of the alligator into bite size pieces, dip them in a batter, than deep fry them.

The alligator meat is tender and juicy and I hate to say it, but it tastes like chicken.  Isn't it strange how unusual food typically tastes like chicken. They serve the Alligator Bites with a sweet, spicy, and slightly sour sauce called, Tiger Sauce.

 What is the most unique food item you have eaten?
