Fried Needlefish! Hmm, if you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out. An exotic dish in presentation and extremely tasty. With firm and very flavorful meat, it is usually eaten fried, although it can be prepared in many other ways. A classic of coastal cuisine, where you can find it fresh. Not recommended to buy it if it's not fresh.

General information

General characteristics

There is no specific fishery for this species; it is often associated with other catches. The real problem is finding it, which is easy for those with access to a fishing port, but very difficult for those who only see fish at the market. The unpopularity of the garfish is due to something quite improbable: the color of its bone! The garfish's bone is blue-green, and this has given it a popular reputation for being toxic and to be avoided.
