Sorted and rinsed the gator.

Cut into gator nuggets. Going with 2 marinades along with 1 cup water and 1/2 tsp cure 1.

The gator is not as dense as chicken breast so i'm only going to vac tumble for 5 mins then into the fridge overnight.

Rick - we used to use a buttermilk soak and some cajun seasonings on 'gator meat - then batter and fry! Nice treats. Looking forward to seeing how these come out for you.

Cliff,
If there is anyway you can make it to the SEGASO, you can join a lot of your forum friends in person.  I'd personnaly love to sit down and eat some of Rick's gator jerky with you.
