Thanks Geauxtiga

Now, give me a recipe for gar balls so I will know what I am doing!

Great thread. I'd like to try that. Now that I want to, I'll never catch another gar.

I thought only black people ate gar?


We used to take them to the black country bars where the old men were sitting around playing dominos. We would give them away and they loved them.

On the barge rig I was working on last month, someone came back from their days off with pounds and pounds of gar meat he caught..both fillets and gar balls. He put the gar balls and some fillets in a stew and fried the other fillets. It was different for sure.

We only bar-b-qued it. I'd like to try gar balls.

I always thought I didn't like gar until my future father in law fried some up for me. Good stuff!

On a big gar (>30 lbs) take and cut that tenderloin across the back, making big roasts with the backbone in the middle. Cook in a pot with onions like a pork roast. Better than sex.

Do you think it would be good smoked?

Dang...what a post!

The image of the gar's head with a nail through it is sure quite a sight.

I've heard it is VERY good smoked but I've never personally had a chance to try it that way.
