Re: Gar color variations
I actually enjoy eating the gar, they are good but a bit of a pain to clean. I don't eat the carp , they get disposed of on my land.

They are IMO the toughest fish to clean. What it lacks in ease is made up for in taste. Wonderful eating fish if you have the time, and a very sharp knife (sometimes even a hatchet).

Re: Gar color variations
Never seen one that color before. You serious about eating gar? What are they similar to, if any? If they are good eating, they are plenty of them.

Re: Gar color variations
They stink so bad I never thought about eating one. I would try it if someone else cleaned them. I have tons of them on the Obey river at my farm.

Re: Gar color variations
Never tried one - willing to. Also never seen the color variation either.
