Eating alligator meat is a controversial issue. The view that carries weight is that eating alligator meat is halal (lawful) as it does not fall in the categories prohibited by the clear texts of Shariah. In addition, it is considered to be an amphibious animal and takes the rulings pertaining to fish. However, some scholars argue it is forbidden due to its amphibious nature and its method of killing prey with sharp teeth.
And Allah knows best.
