The Great Eating Gar

[Feathers and Fins]

I have cooked them by the following methods

Fried

BBQ

Baked

Smoked

Patty

Crock Pot

Boiled

They are an incredibly good eating fish, for grilling a cedar board is impossible to beat with some fresh garden veggies. If the word of how good they are those poor things would be in deep trouble. Luckily no one wants to believe you when you say they are good.

Say you just fillet them like a walleye, bass, crappie, etc. Are you going to be chewing bones the whole time? I honestly don't mind a few bones. It's not like I don't chew my food anyway.

NO. the backstrap is just like a deer is the best way to compare. if you try for the belly meat then yes you will have a few bones but not on the strap.

Interesting. I just need to clean one next time I accidentally snag one I guess. Thanks.
