Has anybody tried it and is it any good?? Lol I've heard of people eating gar and making meatballs and stuff out of it but never personally tried it myself, if y'all think its good I might keep one and cook em up lol

I've heard of people eating bowfin too but that just seems a little nasty... But hey I can't say I've tried it!

Lots of folks around here eat it and love it. Pain to clean though. Most either cut them up in chunks with a machete or hatchet, use tin snips, or the folks that do it a lot use portable band saws. Don't eat anything near the eggs though, they're poisonous.
