Is it OK to eat Gator Tail on Fridays during Lent?

No. It’s flesh meat, and a gator isn’t a fish, it’s a reptile.

Unless the Holy See ruled otherwise (which it has for certain aquatic mammals) but this is highly unlikely to apply to you.

On Fridays, just think “coldblooded animals” and “eggs.” (With a few exceptions here and there, mostly for water critters.)
