I've never tried either. Can you share your recipe and the 'do's and don't do's'???

you grind gar like regular meat or course grind it? use flour or corn flour before frying ? any breading or potato's mix in ? i had years ago course ground and don't think they knew what they were doing,,,,edible if you were hungry , i'll leave it at that. kinda curious to try again.

My wife will use sweet potatoes and the regular potatoes . She'll boil them , then peel and mix half fish half potatoes . But before you mix it all together , chop white or yellow onions up finely and green onions . She uses garlic powder , salt , cayenne , and bread crumbs . I think she buys the seasoned bread crumbs . But mix all that together , or grind . After that you either patty them up or make balls . At that point you can either put some up ( freeze ) or get to frying . She use the same recipe for the garfish , except no sweet potatoes in them .
Sometimes I'll take the patties and pour étouffée over the top of them . Really tasty !

We ground it just like we ground Beef,Deer,Pork, Crawfish
