Can you eat alligator? I have heard of people eating alligator. But only southern people. I am from Ohio and don't know any place in Ohio that has alligator meat.

Another thing I am concerned about is that alligators have lots of microbes and some might be heat resistant. If that is the case than that could cause food poisoning or worse, ulcers.

So is it safe to eat alligator?
Yes you can and it is. Google 'menu alligator' and you will find plenty of restaurants that actually have it on the menu, like this one, this one or this one.

I doubt that a restaurant would (be allowed to) have it on the menu if it's unsafe to eat.
