This really increases my confidence in collecting gar, my grandfather has always told me they aren't anything in comparison to pike or bass. I caught a carp last year and ate it for the first time. I made my own seasoning which was spicy as hell, but overall I actually enjoy the fishes stronger flavor. I will definitely keep the gar in mind this year and keep one to try it, although I always finish a fish off, regardless of taste. Too much money spent not to eat it all.

[sonicvstrex]

is it long nose gar or aligator gar thats endangdered

[TheInheritedBasher]

@sonicvstrex It's alligator gar, short an long nose are rather plentiful in all of their native range.

Had some gar and it was deep fried. The meat was dry and very mile in flavor. Reminds me of kingfish. White and meaty. Next time I'll probably try it prepared another way though.

[lukrativ0922]

Gar is definitely good to eat, if anything, it does not have enough of a fish taste. I only shoot gar that are 3 ft + due to the low yield of meat. I do think I am going to try to make jerky out of it next year. The consistentcy of the meat lends itself to quality jerky. Has a more salmon like texture, kind of like a spoonbill. Next, I want to see them try to eat a grinnel.

I live in south Texas and have been eating it since I was a child. To me it tastes like chicken mixed with fish. Try some lemon or lime on it fried, with a tall glass of Sweet tea or beer....mmmm, good eating man.

[RonSafreed]

In Florida I heard that the Micosukee&Seminole indians eat gar, first time that I heard of white people eating gar.

[Jewelball]

that's a Nasty look pan

[ankazakov]

@Jewelball looks like a regular cast iron pan, not supposed to scrub or use soap on them, wipe it down and call it a day. Cooks WAY better then the "non-stick" Teflon crap though

[MyBoomStick1]

so hungry

[ipodfishingreview]

[gonsoulin16ps3]

[01Ranga]

[dhoulkarnain]

Hey! Where's the big fish fella's? We don't see no big fish!

[frognrayne213]

Cook it in a batter thats very mustardy it's really good then

[ensconse]

Is there a commercial product out there for this food?

[wwwDarkTacklecom]

Impressive. I think we have the same bow.

[pdrow1]

Another great video. Never seen a fish that took a hacksaw, pliers, and tin snips to clean! Think I will stick with crappie in my fryin' pan.

[ArkansasGillum]

We just mostly mash up the meat into balls & fry..Gotta eat it hot or it doesn't taste very good

[mrhulot101]

add some lemon juice guys.

Little Cyprus Creek in Possumtrott has some MONSTER gar. Great video, I always wondered about eating them because they seem to hit any dead meat you throw in front of them. We catch them for fun and have always threw em back but Im gonna have to try this. Thanks!!!
