chocofallon Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Hi all, I've been catching a few Garfish for bait and have heard they are great eating so I am keen to catch a few and try them out on the table. However does anyone know how to prepare them ie fillet or cook them whole and what's a good way of cooking them.? Cheers, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigholio Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Garies are delicious & easy to prepare. Gut it as per usual, then lay it belly down back up on a cutting board. Roll a longneck or rolling pin over the spine and voila the flesh seperates in one piece from the spine. They're great fried in flour or egg/breadcrumbs. It's the one fish that's OK to overcook a little, as this softens up the remaining ribs. Really tasty Jig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigholio Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Same technique & tackle for mullet, Jimmy. Lotsa breadcrumb berley, tiny hook. Floatant on the line if you can see them or a pencil float if you can't. the trickiest bit is keeping them in the area so an unbroken berley trail is a must. Te tastiest bait around lol.
