I've heard that gar meat is very good. I haven't had a chance this year to find out though.

yeah, they are really good if you know how to cook them, and how to clean them. its like they have more of a shell than a skin, split them down the back with sheers of some kind, then skin him out. scrape the meat off with a spoon,(i know it sounds wierd but its the best way) season and make kind of like a hamburger pattie.

I always split em down the bottom with a hatchet and slide em out ,cut out the blood line and them bake,fry,or smoke them on the pit.Them over 100# I double filete then fry or cut into roast size and put them in the oven with taters and onions and maybe some celery if I have any.

I think it's worth noting that the roe of garfish is poisonous.
