[p]Grill over medium coals about 45 minutes or until ribs are tender, basting frequently with 1/8 cup marinade.

    BobsBlues&BBQ,[p]Wish I had a recipe for you but all I have is a memory.[p]About 3-4 years ago, we were at the BBQ contest in Grant, FL. They had an Anything Butt contest on Friday night and one team made smoked gator ribs. Let me tell you, those were fantastic. I think they even won that category with them. Wish I could remember the team name for you. Will have to ask some friends.[p]John

    They are real. They are great. I have not yet had them on the egg though. Here is a company that will sell and ship them to you.[p][p]

    My only suggestion is that you take some pics and document the cook for us - to teach us all something.

    Ah, okay, a resurrection by @FanOfFanboys; I was surprised that TWO folks were doing 'gator ribs this weekend.

    they were ok. I love fried gator tail. they were a bit fishy tasting. more than I expected. the texture was ok. I love the gator sausage and will have again but I won't buy the ribs again
