Combine buttermilk and hot sauce into 1 mixture. Dip the gator meat into the buttermilk and hot sauce mixture and dip, once again, in flour. Then place in deep fryer until golden brown, just a couple minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve with ranch dressing.

I’ve had this before and it was pretty good. The closest comparison I can make is catfish. You can also dredge it in cornmeal instead of flour if you want to get even closer to the taste of a southern fish fry.
I think making unfamiliar meats taste like things that are more familiar will be a very useful skill, particularly for those who have squeamish or picky folks in their families.
