Iv started bowfishing recently (lots of fun) I am not a fan of leaving them on the bank, so keep what I shoot. Usually get gar and have heard that they are good eating. I also get carp from time to time. Does anyone have any recipes for gar or carp to share?

All I�ve done for far is get the meat off the back straps. Stay above the ribs as the eggs are toxic to humans, or so I�ve heard and not willing to find out. Cut the meat in to chunks, marinade in honey mustard dressing and some liquid smoke. I clean the fish, chunk the meat. When I get home, I rinsed off the meat, put in to a gallon sized zip lock bag with marinade and put in the fridge. I cook it on a medium-medium high heat in a skillet or on the grill. It will turn white like chicken breast when it�s done.

I saw somewhere on YouTube where they would smoke the carp and make fish patties like you would with salmon. I think they did a cream cheese mix with the smoked carp and made a dip as well. Been wanting to try it out.
