Finally caught a gar tonight big enough to clean. So before I cook it I wanted to see what is y'all's favorite way?
I agree with you.. kept hearing how good it is on here " taste like lobster" so kept one and tried it steamed, just not good to me. Maybe I just got a bad one but don't think I'll try it again.I've fried it and also boiled some in crab boil. I thought the fried was better. Wife enjoyed the boiled. I won't be keeping any more though as I just didnt enjoy it as much as other fish.
Dig a hole, fill it with charcoal and get it going good. Take the Gar, roll it in horse manure, wrap it all up in tinfoil. Throw it on the coals of the fire and cover it up for 2 hours. Come back, dig it up, take the horse manure off of it, throw the fish away, and eat the horse manure.
Steam it like lobster and eat with drawn butter.
