I sure wish that people wouldn't just destroy these fish. They are very tasty! I marinated two Gar steaks yesterday in Beer, Soy Sauce. spices and Tony Fatsos everything sauce. I then cooked them over hot coals and citrus wood on the grill. Never overcook gar because it gets tough. If you like it cooked well then grind it and make patties! My husband and I eat it a lot because I hate fishy flavor but the Gar is not fishy tasting. It marinates really well! Because of the mild flavor it can be used in Fajitas, tacos, spaghetti, anything that you would use fish or pork in!
I live near Tampa smile FLorida. If you live nearby and catch and gar but do not want it call me!!!!!!
