National Shrimp Festival in Gulf Shores features more than just shrimp - al.com: "GULF SHORES — Dylan Greer had an abundant supply of seafood to choose from Saturday at the National Shrimp Fest, but the 9-year-old opted for a meal that tasted more like chicken than shrimp.

Fried alligator on a stick was the food of choice for the Gulf Shores boy, who sat on the boardwalk as an amused grandmother, Wanda Bingham, looked on.

'I think the best part is sitting out here and eating,' said Bingham, sitting on a wooden bench overlooking the Gulf of Mexico."
