I've had Alligator and it did not seem like similar to that at all.
Alligator tail is delicious

It is. The sauce you serve with it is also key. We served it at my restaurant twice, and both times it was deep-fried with a spicy remoulade sauce. I'm not sure where he's getting the "sweet" taste from though. Maybe the sauce (that is a weird color for that by the way. Jalapeno' Jelly? wtf?)My experience with Gator tail is tender yes, but more greasy & chewy. Although it could very well depend on the brand and/or the Gator itself.
If you ever come across it, it's worth a try.

I was going to say that he described it as 'soft' in the video but it's been pretty damn chewy any time I've had it. And yeah jalapeno jelly is delicious.
I've had alligator once and it was good but it's definitely an acquired taste. It didn't taste bad at all but the consistency of the meat was really off-putting, mostly because I could sit there and keep chewing and chewing and chewing it not knowing when I could actually stop chewing. It tastes good as fuck though.
I live in Louisiana, what do you think?
But seriously, with the correct sections of meat, it has the consistency/chewiness of chicken, but more of a fish texture/taste. The meat you're going to get at restaurants is going to be tougher because it comes from larger, older gators. Most fishermen are out to get the larger ones because they bring in more money. I, however, get meat from younger, more tender ones from a friend who hunts gators. It's much much better.

Agreed, I've gotten some good gator in some smaller restaurants in Louisiana, it's rarely been as good anywhere else.
I thought Bass pro shop was a place that sold fishing and hunting equipment not a restaurant. I've never actually been inside one since I don't hunt or fish
Their fudge should be classified as a drug. It's way too addictive.

Bass Pro Shop is a redneck's mecca, the closest one to me has a central uplifted platform with a restaurant at the top and waterfalls down the side, along with an elevator surrounded by an aquarium to get to it.
He calls the green colored sauce weird colored? Did he never have Guacamole?

If your guac looks like that pastel green there's something wrong.
