I recently placed an order for a medium size alligator for my son for his birthday who has been wanting an alligator to smoke for so long. I decided to pull the trigger for his birthday, and decided to go with Cajun Grocer. We received the package today, one day before his birthday, and I cannot thank you enough. It is a pleasure as a mom to be able to bring such joy to our children, but I couldn’t have done it without Cajun Grocer.

My gator came quickly and the head was still attached. This was the talk of the friends Gathering. Thank you Cajun Grocer for making me the New Smoking King. The flavor and texture was unbelievable. I brined it in crab boil then smoked it with a MIXTURE OF HICORY AND APPLE AND CHERRY WOOD and chips. The kids ran around with the head and feet . it was just an amazing function. Thank you Sladeworld6

Ordered this whole alligator. It arrived quick, and frozen solid. Injected it, marinated it, and smoked it. What a treat for my family in California.

I ordered one of the medium gators, wrapped it in bacon and stuffed it with a cajun dressing. It was absolutely amazing. The gator was delivered on time and frozen.

Mine weighed a little over 12 pounds. We invited 14 guests and had a decent amount left over. The tail was the best part.

I ordered 2 of these whole alligators for my son's birthday. They were the hit of the party. The flavor was excellent, and the seasoning was perfect. I wrapped them in bacon, and everyone loved them.
