It was awesome to see people not afraid to say grace at dinner. May the Lord continue to bless your journey

[@pawpawvapes9100]

Brings back a lot of good memories. Can remember my father using a machete and bare foot to clean big gars. My mother would fry the gar balls just like you with a lot of green onions and then add them to a brown gravy. You look familiar. I've lived in Louisiana all my life. Keep up the great video's

[@raybates3119]

Never thought of using a french fry cutter as a dicer. Learn something new every day!

That's exactly how my dad tought me to clean them exact same way. Great video

[@phillipstewart213]

You can skip the step cutting off the head and cut the skin down to wear its opened up like wings and make a little slit and run your fingers down the ridge and the meat comes almost off then cut the rest of the way and pull it off. I was amazed the first time I did it how easy those filets just come right off and boneless

[@Servant_of_Christ]

Oh brother that looks good... I wish we had fish like that here in Scandinavia. Maybe I'll try using burbot or Nothern pike?

[@bootsandbowsoutdoors8727]

My daddy made a board similar to the one you used. It fit across the gunwales of the aluminum boat we had. He would clean the gars on it while we were waiting for more gars to hit the net (this was back when you could gill net them in south Louisiana). My mom would make the gar balls, roll them in a little flour and pan fry them then make a gravy from the roux formed from the flour falling off the boulettes. Eat that with some rice sa c’est bon!! We would also take the filets and just season them and pan fry them. Much better than frying in fish fry. Also, if you catch a few take a spoon and scrape the bones, you’ll get more meat for the boulettes. Enjoying the channel.

[@kfred]

That’s awesome! Sounds delicious! Thanks for watching and commenting

Thank you for watching!

[@calvinwinn7643]

I just take a carpenter’s hand saw and cut crosswise 2” slabs. Then it’s easy to take a knife to cut out the meat into steaks or grind into gar balls.

I wish more people start to eat Gars. These fish are normally abused by fishermen. After accidentally hooking them, people just throw them on the rock to let them rot, what a waste of good protein!
