you could put these buggers length wise on a hotdog bun, would probably make a killer fish sandwich! Great video!

In NZ we call Garfish Piper though they are generally smaller. They are taste fantastic and favourites since we caught them off the wharf as kids. Bonito-belly bait and tiny hooks. Best way to cook is scale, gut, wash then put their spike through the base of the tail so they make a circle. Dust in flour then fast fry whole, turning once. When you straighten them out the meat falls off the bone. Delicious!

In New Zealand our gar fish is called a " piper " and nowhere near as big as those . Similar taste to our flounder (flat fish) .... the scales come off so easy then remove the head and grab a rolling pin (beer bottle or whatever) and start from the tail and roll towards the head, all the bones and guts get pushed out, clean the gut cavity and cook with skin on to your preferred method .... beautiful delicate white flesh I've always preferred rolling them in salt and white pepper seasoned flour, fry and a little drizzle of lemon juice just before Great now I'm hungus for some fish!!! :)

Nice cook. I was the guy with the Instagram photo 😄
The marinade is a good idea. I made this with chicken before but never thought of doind it with fish. Have to try this when the garfisch arrive here at the Baltic sea. Usually they come at the end of April. But it was a cold winter. Even the large swarms of herring are still not here.

“On our way to get some Mini Marlins” 😂 classic!

In Oz we call those things Long Toms. Gar Fish are a mini version of them with a smaller beak.

I often take these home for the table (especially when deeply hooked). I always get mocked by other anglers for eating them but if only they knew how good they were!

[gregmaynard]

Instead of doing the pinwheel on the skewer oh, maybe you should have gone ahead and done a zigzag. That way all you had to do is enter one end of the tail and then switch back every time you entered it on the skewer. You would get a similar effect on the cooking, but it would make it easier to do. That looks so good!

Also loved the underwater fish footage! So cool!

[zympanze]

This fish is not trash, just grilled it in charcoal with little salt that the best.
Watch Japan fisherman how to cook this fish.

[timothyjohnston]

Cool to see how the long nose swim underwater. That sent trail went a long ways. Try not to eat all of your conger bait😂. Catch you on the next one 👍🇨🇦

I used to love catching these in the Mid East. As soon as you get a hook in them they take off standing on their tail.

[michaelfranklyn]

Great show bra, we love those mini Marlins ova here in 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲they are delicious 🤤..❤️🇯🇲🇯🇲

We have a very similar fish by the same name in Australia. Difference being they only have a protrusion from the lower jaw and therefore a tiny upwards facing mouth. We wouldn't dream of using a size 1 hook on Australian garfish, rather the smallest hooks we can buy. Those gar you caught would be considered the biggest of the big here and we class them as an awesome eating fish.

[kevinbuckler]

Can't believe you're catching gars already, must be the benefit of having the Gulf Stream close by ? I've eaten them before, will give that a go, if I catch any !! And finally, where's your cycle helmet !!

[alistairclark]

I think my favorite part of your catch and cooks is that you are clearly trying things and not just using tried, tested and perfect methods. Although they do turn out perfectly.

Your country is beautiful. Thanks for all your videos.

[iain]

I just stumbled across your channel. I think the Garfish we have here in Australia look similar but are a different species. We roll out the backbone, dust them in flour and fry them till crispy and they are sweet and delicious. That said, your recipe looks brilliant. Thanks for the video.

Looks tasty!cant wait for garfish season to come to sweden (should start soon)

[markrapp]

They look like great sport, I haven't fished for them in years I may have to give it a go again.

I didn't even know about the Smash Random channel, you should look at getting it added as a featured channel to this one so more people can find it. Great stuff btw and more Smash bits to watch
