<p>Not if they aren't fertilized. The roe is taken from the females before they mate. People make money selling it to fishermen down in Florida.</p>

<p>If anyone knows that, it's you, L! LOL</p>
<p>(Although I dont think even Cajuns would eat predatory water beetles!)</p>
<p>They live in a swamp, after all. Along with all the usual stuff, Nature offers them all sorts of other "comestibles." And when you're hungry enough, most anything looks good.</p>

<p>Here's a tip for you, Tony. While it's true gar roe is poisonous to humans, bluegill go crazy for it. You wanna turn on the bite? Toss a few pinches of gar roe into the swim.</p>
<p>Just be sure to wear gloves when you do.</p>

<p>Personally, I like gar fish. They are prehistoric wonders, their kind predating even the dinosaurs.</p>
<p>You wanna talk about apex predators? They are it. I even have a lure specially designed to catch them. Many people toss them into the weeds to die, but I respect them. In Louisiana, they are considered haute cuisine... which may not be much of a recommendation, now that I think on it. After all, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">everything</span> seems to be worth eatin' down…</p>
