Gar as in Alligator Gar?? Anything that works for catfish should be just fine.

Didja see the guy who landed a 340 pound gar this week...?? He’s gonna need a 55 gallon drum of oil and a pallet of bread crumbs for that one....

Yes gar: alligator or needlenose.
No, I haven’t seen that one yet, I imagine it was over 6 feet long, though... lol... A nice 3’ needlenose suits me... lol

Tastes like lobster: run a sawzall down the back, remove backstrap, chunk the rest in the compost pile.

Just wondering if anyone grills or broils, I’m not real interested in frying it anymore.

I have thought about making gumbo with it.

Okay, I’ll bite (pun intended)... what does gar taste like? Do you bake it, fry it or what?
