What's gator like? Chicken?
I had gator recently that was a plain fillet and not a fried nugget or something like that. I thought it was like a cross between chicken and a meaty fish. It tasted like chicken, but there was a slight sponginess and the way it pulled apart reminded me of fish
Sponginess is a great word for it! I wanted to describe it as kind of fluffy, but that felt not quite right
It's been so long that my description might not be reliable, but I remember it as a slightly fishy, gamey chicken, but much softer and juicier than other game meats
Gardein's "ultimate" plant based chick'n nuggets already taste kind of fishy IMO, and I've found that soaking them in dill pickle juice before cooking makes them taste a lot like I remember gator tail being like
The gator I had was fried and it was like darker-than-dark-meat chicken.
