I bought a 19 lb alligator garfish roast from a commercial fisherman. I processed it and cooked some tonight. As good as it gets. If you haven’t had it, it’s texture is nothing like catfish. It’s like tender alligator or chicken. I cooked some naked (no batter) and some in an egg wash

Are they full of bones like the long nose and short nose.
Alligator gars get large enough to cut roasts. The spine and ribs form a 3 point star. Alligator gar get large enough that you can easily fillet slabs off of the roasts.
36” ones will give you enough meat to cook. A 60”+ one will give you enough meat to invite everyone over plus put some in the freezer. A 72” one will provide a LOT of meat. A LOT.
The ones you mentioned would probably be the same, if you can get them big enough

long nose gar are NOT full of bones. take a hatchet or corn knife and give one a whack right behind the head to get a cut in their hide. use a pair of tin snips and cut the hide all the way down the top of the back. Yes you need tin snips. Then using a knife start in the cut and skin down the side. there is a strip of whit meat on each side you cut out like taking the backstrap from a deer. it is white meat, boneless, a lot of it, and very good.
do NOT eat gar eggs. I have been told repeatedly the eggs are poisonous
