interesting thing is that the larvae are also poisonous...mammals, birds, and primarily crustaceans are susceptible to the "ichthyotoxin" as it has been sometimes called.--

there aren't wild gar avail for eating here
fat is where a lot of toxins accumulate in fishes, this is why fattier fishes have higher food advisory levels than leaner, smaller, forage fishes. it's just not worth it, and like perun said, it's going to taste like crap (not carp...which would actually be better than what you've got).
it's up to you, but we've already given you our info. i don't think it's worth it just to say "we ate some gar". you could feasibly order some gar meat from the US if you really wanted the good stuff (i believe LA ships out some of their gator gar meat...which tastes really good).--
