*****I was just reminded that these are Needle-Nosed gar.....NOT Alligator Gar
I mentioned a few days ago a family friend that just graduated from EMT training.
His father took him and my son bow fishing tonight for his graduation celebration/gift.
Update:
As of 11:10 my son had pulled in 3, his friend 1, and his dad 1 and one carp.
They were going to head back around midnight.
Maybe we can serve Gar Nuggets at the wedding.
Gotta cut costs somewhere- the paper goods were $300!!!
Updated Update (BowHunter wakes up)
Son (17) brought in another, making his count 4.
The guide (bowfisherman since '84, guide since '86) had a dog that would get hold of the gar once you pulled it up into the boat and hold it down while you pulled the arrow out!

Nail it to a clean knot free cedar board, season according to taste, and broil for 10 minutes.
Remove the gar, and throw it away.
Eat the board.
That's my family secret recipe for carp!!! [:D]
Head,gut,tail and skin the fish.Boil it in enough water to cover by 3". Use old bay or some kind of well seasoned crab/shrimp boil,for 1 hour.
Take out and allow to cool.Pick all meat and make cakes a to your liking.
Deep fry at 325* till golden brown..Not bad at all.
Then of course,U could probably do the same with "sea robins" and it's be edible..[:D][:D][;)]

[:D] That's what I'm thinking too, but I have to tell you that the fried gar nuggets at the link look downright mouth watering! At least enough for me to nibble on before passing or wolfing them down!

I'd wink too, if I was you! [:D][:D][:D] [:D]
I have cleaned a lot of them no bones at all when done, They have a spine and a set of ribs that form a triangle shape, cut the meat off and slice into steaks or nuggets bread and fry. They do not hold over well in the fridge after cooking, least not to my liking.
Hard to get that "shell" off but once that is done they are easy, I cut out some of the darker meat, it is rather strong.
I enjoy them, caught ours snagging, cant do that anymore.

LOL sounds like my recipe for Gar.[:D]
The cajuns down here make "gar balls" out of them. From what I understand its similar to a crab cake.
I can just see a large plate of cold leftovers after the reception with a sign sitting in front of it that says "Gar Balls" in calligraphy.
Giveaway?
