Alligator meat is OK to eat on Fridays during Lent, here's why and how to prepare it
Fox News
Although practicing Catholics abstain from eating meat on Fridays during the season of Lent, alligators and other cold-blooded animals may be the exception.
Archbishop Gregory M. Aymond wrote in his 2010 response letter that "the alligator is considered in the fish family," the same source reported, and "is considered seafood." A lot of Louisiana chefs are "getting more creative" about how to incorporate alligator meat in their dishes. Peter Burke is a lifestyle editor with Fox News Digital.
In the Catholic faith, Fridays during Lent are "obligatory days of abstinence," according to the website of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
