Garfish have unusually green bones (due to biliverdin) which discourages many people from eating them. Many consider garfish to be delicious fried, baked or barbecued.Its pelvic fins are located in a posterior position as are its dorsal and anal fins. They are positioned for posterior flexing of the body.
