Alligator Or Caimán Meat - Fatty Acids Profile

Commercial cuts of Pantanal caiman meat according to sex

Hi. Just got 200g tail meat of a local alligator species. Tastes nicely, not so fatty, kinda cheap and started wondering if it would be OK. Seems low on PUFAs. What do you think about it?

It's meat has a texture similar to pig (softer parts)

I've had it a few times and liked it. I would have described it as intermediate between chicken and fish in texture and flavor. The good thing is, even if it is farmed, they can't raise it on grain. However, they are most likely raising what it is being fed on grain. Still, once removed is better than 0 times removed.

I wonder why the tail and thigh have so much more MUFA, and less PUFA, than sirloin and back cut.
