Meat usually gets its flavor from the fats it contains, even then the majority of that is coming from your sense of smell. If you plug your nose, even the most delicious steak tastes pretty plain. Most things taste like chicken just because the fats in white meat are usually pretty similar. It does get over applied but there is still some truth behind it.
I didn't really want to catch a gator for food anyway. All of the fish in the lake have warning signs that you can't eat them because of toxin levels. The toxins they list, like mercury, build up in the fatty tissues of the fish. Turtles eat dead fish and alligators eat turtles. The toxins are only going to get more concentrated the further up you go in the food chain but somehow the gators are magically safe to eat.
