A whole alligator, impaled on a metal skewer, is slowly being roasted over a bed of open flames and hot coals. The alligator has a dark, charred head and a reddish-orange skin covering its body. The skewer is supported by vertical rods. The fire is built within a concrete structure that is filled with ash and rows of brick. Several metal bowls are seen sitting on a table in the background. A man in dark pants and shoes walks past in the background. Another man can be seen standing in the background, partially obscured, using metal tongs near the fire. The camera angle is slightly elevated, looking down at the alligator and the fire.
