Probably tastes like chicken.
More like turtle. In Louisiana they nake meatballs out of them and serve them in a spicy Creole sauce.
It a shame they killed it. I swam with gars my whole young like and never heard of anyone being eaten. They are no fun to catch either. There like dragging in a log.
Nope, it actual tastes like $hit. I have eaten one before (at least some of one). I caught it at Lake Summervile in Texas at a Boy Scout campout when I was young.
More like chicken ass. It's very bony fish like a saltwater catfish or croaker. Then the meat you do get off the bone is steaky and very tough. You have to take a mallet to it before it's cooked just so you can chew. In short, it's nasty. Also don't let the size of this fish alarm you. they are harmless to humans as far as I know. I swam with some big 'uns growing up, but they never bothered us.
