They are decent table fare as well when prepared correctly.I've eaten alligator gars (when I lived in New Orleans) but I've never eatenthe long-nosed gar. An alligator gar caught in Lake Pontchartrain or the swamps was pretty god eating, prepared properly. We just wouldn't eat the 6' monsters we caught in the drainage ditches. Cleaning them requires an axe. DonO
I went bowfishing with some guys rigged out to clean and process gar. They
had a couple of 2by's nailed together in a 90 degree angle and you placed
the fish in the center and started cracking backs. Once the meat is removed
it is remarkably white meat.
