can I eat gar?

[Bumpkin74]

How do I post pictures here? I want to show you folks a few of my gar. Thanks for the feedback. It's in the freezer now. If I were in the wilderness with no steel tools but lots of gar, I'd starve to death.

Is there an instructional area of these forums where I can read how to post pictures?

Thanks all.

Thanks flako. I'm giving it a whirl. Note that the body armor is quite rigid, especially when attached to the fish. Prying apart an opening is like grabbing the two beads on a car tire and trying to pull apart. Like I said, the gar is an engineering marvel. I hope the pic appears now.

So they must taste good if people are eating them

Lutefisk? Haggis?

There are many less obvious and over-used contradictions to your statement.. lol. People eat stuff that's so, well, bad-tasting sometimes.

Maybe it evolved all of that armor to protect all the tasty goodness inside... or maybe it was intelligently designed to be so difficult you won't eat it. Hmmm???

I'm think'n a pit with charcoal...and let it simmer for a day or so?

A fellow river rat forwarded me a great Cedar Plank Gar recipe:

Soak Cedar plank in water for 15 minutes

Put plank on grill and preheat for 15 minutes

Place prepared gar on plank and top with favorite BBQ sauce and or rub

For added smoke flavor add an applewood chip box to the grill

Place away from direct heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes

When meat is white and flaky remove from grill and scrape off into nearest dumpster.

Sprinkle cedar plank with some lemon juice and enjoy

I think I could skin a small deer faster than a gar

Thanks guys. This is a great site, because the readers are so active. I'll let you know how it tastes. Saving it for a 'special' day. I like the one about cooking it to perfection, and then eating the plank instead.

Later.
