European garfish Fishing

• 16-30 inch

• 1.1-2.2 lb

European Garfish inhabit the Atlantic and Mediterranean, with long, slender bodies and beak-like jaws. They swim near the surface, feeding on sardines and small fish. Their green-tinted bones deter some, but they are valued for their delicate flesh. A lively fighter, garfish are popular among light-tackle coastal anglers.
