Ever eaten a garfish?

[Tony U]

People also shy away from eating Scad (Horse Mackerel, which are also a good eating fish.

As for the Razorfish Dave (Captian Cojones), is spot on; Navajas al vapor or a la Plancha, wonderful.

Do not dismiss the Spanish as Stavey has done they are the best Seafood Cooks in Europe bar none

And your point is...?

I must admit that I have always thrown Garfish back, classifying them as "useless".

LOL.  Salar, I'm glad the recipe worked for you.  The cajun folk use freshwater gar though.  I guess the meat is similar.

One rather strange thing in the recipe - they said to use an axe rather than a knife to fillet the gar. I assume they have thicker armour plating than our wussy garfish!

Dat dey do Salar. Dull a knife blade in a hurry.

 

Although once you have the skin/hide opened up you can use a knife on the meat.

captain cojones:

the thing you really need to try is razorfish.

My old marine biology lecturer told me they were fantastic sauteed in a bit of olive oil. This was in the minibus on the way back from a field trip, where we'd caught loads of them. He could have mentioned it earlier...
