I cant imagine3 folks eating gar, but they do. I guess all fish are edible if prepared properly. In europe the carp is a prized table fish.folks in england pay big money to fish for carp, and its a lot of catch and release for that species.

I've ate both Carp and Gar,both are as good as any fish if cleaned and fixed properly.You cut the Red Meat (mud vein) out of a carp and fry like any fish,the Cajuns in Louisiana make Gar Roasts stuffed with garlic and seasoned,it's white meat and not bad at all.
Can't say I've ever ate a skipjack,but I like sardines and herring. If you eat catfish,then look at what they eat.

I do not want to shock anyone or make anyone sick----but If you go to a sushi reasturant around the midwest you will probably get served shad. I found this out from one of our local sushi bar owners.

I don't know what fish they were catching/using,but the owner of a Chinese restaraunt in in Independence,Ky got caught using an illegal net in the pond by some condo's behind the shopping center.Seems like he was feeding everything he caught there.

You can call it bait if you want,but I'll eat every crawfish cooked properly and put in front of me.

You have to remember there are lots of different species of shad. For instance, in Maryland you can catch American shad, which grow to about 20-24 inches, and are delicious to eat:

I've been in some "up-scale" sushi restaurants with gizzard shad on the menu.

I have had American Shad, down in Virginia where I am from, they eat it all the time, and actually have a very short season when you are actually allowed to catch them. We salted them, and ate them all winter, plus the season is when they are migrating to spawn, and the shad roe is excellent.

We used to see the Vietnamise down at the Barren spillway cathch and keeping shad all the time, probally would be sorta like sardines, but ugh, I have also ate carp they are ok if fixed correctally, and some people make patties out of them. Also not all sushi is bad I love the good stuff like from Shogun etc, not the kind on the buffet at chinese places, the Japanese do sushi the best, love the stuff. Shad might taste good as looks like all the other fish like to eat them.
