  • Bowfishing in a creek for gar is something I grew up doing. I decided to go give it a try before all the rain hit our are. We ended up only shooting two gar but luckily we shot a decent sized one that was worth cleaning. We loaded him up and took him to the house to see what it would taste like. Hope you all enjoyed this video!

    Nice catch, one key tip I want to share with you, try putting a damp cloth under your chopping board to stop it from sliding around.

    Pan grilled...
    This works with chicken, shrimp or fish.
    Mix
    25% soy sauce
    25% Worcestershire sauce
    50% melted butter or margarine
    Dip fish into mixture.
    Place fish into hot pan or on hot griddle.
    Sprinkle Greek seasoning onto fish.
    Add more of the mixture to fish when you turn it and add more Greek seasoning after turning.
    Cook till done.
    Serve with cocktail, Tarter sauce or drawn butter.
    Enjoy.

    When you get a big gar, take a slab of back strap and smoke it. You can eat it like that, but what I have seen Southern people do is to flake up the smoked meat and make them into gar balls. Watch " Swamp People" they have a great recipe for it.

    Honestly, Mullet, The best way I've ever had gar is to batter it and have it the same way you eat catfish. Gar meat is really clean. They are not the garbage fish that people make them out to be. Cajun pan fried or deep fried with corn meal is what I would recommend. Also, Gar is pared with mustard greens and cornbread. Thank you for showing the world that there is more than beef chicken and pork. I love your content. Keep up the awesome work.

  • @apg0014

  • @mrtaco5374

    I caught a 54" longnose gar in Falls of the Nuese River, caught on my Bluefish rig. Took it home, cut it into steaks, breaded and fried it. Just like cod. Mild, very tasty.
    Edit: No bones, besides ribs, vertical backbones and fin bones.

    Get a 2/4 and season your back strap with garlic salt and lemon pepper and butter... then rap the fish in aluminum foil and place it back on the board... cook the gar on the board at 350 for 30 minutes and then take it out and un rival the gar from the foil... next throw the gar away and eat the board

    I like to treat the gar like I do carp. Smoke them until they fall off the main bones and then cut into chunks and can them up with some white wine, salt, thai chili, some parsley, and tarragon. 15lbs pressure for an hour and once they cool down, hide them for at least 3 months before opening one. Better after 6 months cure. Even the fine bones of the carp are edible, super soft. Make into a fish salad for sandwiches like you would tuna. Never touch the tuna ever again!

    Good batter recipe. Season your fish. Combine 1 cup of rice flower to 1/2 cup of ice cold club soda. Save dry rice flower for double dredge. Heres the order fish in dry rice flower then into the seasoned club soda/rice mixture then into oil thats at 350 degrees. Brown then take off.

    Gut the gar, cut off head and tail, fill the body with chunks of butter and whatever seasonings you like and toss it on the grill till it looks done the meat will be firm like a lobster and it will shred and peel out of the scales/bones, can eat plain or makes really good tacos.
