  • 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.

    • 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.

    • @@RosiePosie-el3lj it was a direct reply to your comment. You were the one who put yourself and your fathers decisions out there based off of what you said. If you don't have the stomach to accept constructive criticism then you shouldn't have said anything. My statement still stands correct even if you take offense to it. 10 minutes or so is not a lot of work and it produces a lot of meat. 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. The fact that people can't accept criticism is the reason we have huge threads of people arguing, which you are trying to start. Be wise, use your intelligence, and make today better than yesterday.

  • 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 never had this type of fish, I've seen other people catch them at the channels in Corpus Christy, TX. But never tasted the meat. Great show. They don't have that kind of fish her in Northern California just Sturgeon. It has to be exact 60" no more or less and need a license for it, like your fishing license. I liked the show. 👏👏👏

  • 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.

    • Kaiser Of Panzers. For sure easier to cut up an ugly fish. First time in Hawaii that I saw a few beautiful Mahimahi fish laying dead. My first thought was ahhh, what a waste. Long, slender and an amazing turquoise color fish. I ate my first Mahi dinner and got over it. Main thing is respect for the animal and do what needs done. This man has that respect.
