Fried gar is delicious.
Most people are turned off due to their appearance but when skinned and cut up they look fine and taste great.
I dip them in egg/milk mixture and cover them with Italian bread crumb.
My wife is a very picky eater when it comes to fish but she loves fried gar... but she still doesn't like to look at it or clean it.

I was always told they were really boney. Shoot, Crock, we could have filled a cooler with nice gar from the canals along Alligator Alley a couple of years ago.

Gar are fantastic. Nice backstraps on them! 100% boneless.

I agree Gar is pretty tasty. But I am not sure it was worth the effort though. I needed an axe and wire cutters to get the amour off. Do any of you know a quick way to get the "shell" off gar?
