Raw alligator meat has a very strong, distinctive smell - not a gamey smell, but more like a swamp-ish, river-ish smell. I panicked and used all of the Middle Eastern spices I had within reach, and luckily the result was not only free of bad smell but also aromatic and delicious! Or maybe the smell just goes away when you cook the meat? I listed this under "chicken and poultry" since the texture and taste are closest to that of chicken, and you can easily substitute chicken for alligator meat. I served it with a refreshing arugular and tomato salad, it was great!
