Americans love Cajun Recipes, which come primarily from the state of Louisiana.  

Louisiana, having more miles of ocean shoreline than any other mainland state, is very proud of its seafood.

Alligator, a popular ingredient in Cajun cuisine, is probably the state’s most unique contribution to the American seafood diet.

Alligator tastes somewhat like shark or swordfish, only meatier. It’s often prepared blackened, or with sweet & sour flavorings.

So the next time you visit New Orleans, don’t be afraid of the alligators on your menu. They are just as tasty to you as you are to them.
