Is gar good???

[Wld Fowl]

First let me say don't tell your buddies that gar are worth eating. It was late and I forgot to take pics of the cleaning. You can check out the cleaning at https://www.bowfishingmadness.com/Gar-Cleaning.html.

So after the 8min cleaning out came some of the best looking and smelling meat you could ask for.

I had to make sure that all of the dark meat was off.

Once it was I clean. The first strip into one inch pieces and the second into 1/2in pieces.

Next I breaded one set and the second set got prepared the way the website said.

Lastly I cooked them.

Let me tell you guys the recipe that is on the website was good but just a little tough for me and my family's taste. but the thinner cut breaded and fried was right on the mark. The long muscle structure is more conducive to really thin cut and quick fry for the best result. All of the gar in the Pocomoke river better watch out.

Just make sure you eat it while it's still hot.

It's like trying to eat a rubber ball otherwise. :lol:

Gar is pretty good stuff. Just somewhat of a chore to clean.

Don't eat the eggs or otherwise let them contaminate the meat. The eggs are poisonous.
