But watching you and seeing this meat, I bet it’s better than carp. Thx brother.

as a kid my first vacation with my family to the beach was at Galveston Texas. My father remodeled an older Grey hound bus and we stayed on the beach near the shore line. I will always remember these older men pulling gars out of the ocean using and old wench truck. Those monsters were huge! Needless to say we ate chunks of gar that night! It was great!

I’m a chef and have been preparing alligator gar for many years. The silver skin that you remove should not be thrown out but rather added to a large stockpot together with the bones and aromatics such as onions, carrots, celery, coriander or parsley. You can let it simmer for 24 hours, strain the stock and can in mason jars at 10 lbs. of pressure. This stock is very useful for all seafood dishes. It can also be used in soups and rice. This is a very strong and flavorful stock, a little goes a long way. Nice job breaking down the fish without damaging any of it.

@AdrenalineandEpiphany

Your father was kinda lazy then because cleaning a deer takes about the same amount of time and effort and I've cleaned about 5 deer in one night before. And as for the taste, it tastes like tuna mixed with shark meat, an interesting taste, kinda like a steak. If you want to show your father what he's been missing then use an electric knife to remove the top shell spine and head and a very flexible filet knife for the meat. This guy admits he's still learning so that's why he's struggling a bit and he's explaining as he cuts so its taking him twice as long as it should. Cleaning a gar only takes 10-15 minutes. When you clean a fish, you are getting 60-80% of the fish's weight worth of meat. Alligator gars can get between 100-300 pounds so you were throwing back more meat than you probably weigh, which would be months worth of food, all because your father didn't want to do a little work.

This gar here was only about 150lbs and you saw how much meat he got out of it. The way you spoke, you hunt/fish for food, not fun. Differences in opinion are what make people individuals. Do you see me crying because I was insulted? No. Accept what's been said and just move on.

Thank you for showing me where my canned fish comes from! Thank God, You're doing this and not me.

Never seen something quite as interesting as an alligator gar being prepared. Looks so fascinating...

That’s probably how they survived millions of years nobody wanted to fillet them 😂

They survived millions of years only to go extinct in 100 years of man's need to destroy.

What an amazing Fish ! Must be an extremely strong Fish with those tough Shells on it! Top Evolution 👍🏼

Crazy how nature gave these things such strong armor whilst maintaining absolutely flexibility and mobility. Like to see this guy walk up with a Garr to Gordon Ramsay and say “so you say you can fillet a fish”.

Hey, my man, I've got a less physically arduous way of skinning those if you're interested in trying something different. Your method is clearly effective, but I've got another one I used to use when I worked in a taxidermy shop. Just get you a small knife, about as big as a pairing knife but tough enough to handle being worked a little hard, and start at the front, go under a scale and cut in a zig-zag pattern going up then down and you can get it open and started without having to seriously dull your big cleaver or risk slamming your knuckles into the scales. You can get all the way to the gill plate like that, and then you just skin him out as normal. Because we needed to hide the cut as much as possible, we cut down the middle of one side, but if you start the cut up high and then work around the "Corner" of their body where their semi-square shape turns you can get them open pretty easy and preserve your knives and fingers. I've had to skin so many of these things I could probably do it in my sleep. These fish in particular still haunt my dreams.

I grew up in Ocala Florida. We used to go out in the woods between Ocala and Daytona to a lake that was connected to Juniper Springs to fish. We would see gar like this one swimming around in the river that were at least 6 feet or more. I never knew they were worth eating.

Except for that nasty cutting board. 🤢

great info on cleaning the Gar, i've never cleaned one but i've caught several in the past. just didn't know how or if I should clean or eat them.

We have them in Texas , i was only 8 years old when my Grandfather and my Stepfather both cought a Catan ( Alligator Gar ) in a Resaca near our home . My stepfather had to use his 1957 Ford Pickup Truck to pull that fish out .😊

This fish is called Pejelagarto in the South of Mexico and it is very common to fish in natural rivers, although it is currently grown more in nurseries for its high consumption, it is usually eaten roasted and accompanied by Amashito Chile sauce, and a very cold beer.

This video setting gives off a nostalgic vibe, like the gas stations or road stops your dad would stop at during a long road trip and it would be night, hardly anyone around with the lighting making everything feeling like a haze. While this memory would not be entirely clear yet it has its place in your head, that’s the sort of vibe this video gives off.

My man, the permanent odour of fish on you must attract 100s of mermaids. Your skills, though, were oddly satisfying to watch.

This man has so much "Imma show you this once, so pay attention" energy. He's like that one Tio at the family fish fry who drinks Modelo and vibes to his own singing while working at the grill. Yeah thats very specific but tell me Im wrong.
