Ilwaco tuna sales

[CP]

Where’s a good place to buy some fresh albacore in Ilwaco?

I’m heading down for some buoy 10 salmon this weekend and would like to bring back some tuna as well.

I would definitely like info on this also, brought back 4 from Westport last week. I smoked 3 loins that turned out awesome and canned the rest. The stuff I canned I also put in the smoker for an hour before canning and it turned out great.. I need  3 or 4 more fish as I spit the end product with my parents...

Lets have a recipe and instructions on that canning and smoking

I was there on the 5th.
Pacific Salmon Charters had frozen loins for about 1,25 a lb.
They had singles all the way up to packs of 4 or 5.
Their chest freezer in the check in office was full.

no real secret for canning ..the canned stuff was just smoked for 1 hour with hickory an the lowest temp I could get with my smoker (140deg).  1/2 pint jars, add tuna chunk trying to fill the voids to about 1 inch from top, we then added  1/8 tsp salt and 1tbs veg.oil. clean the rims and put on lids and rings(finger tight), pack them in the pressure cooker with about 2-3 inches water, cook under pressure of 10-11 for 100 minutes beginning the time when you get up to 10lbs pressure. The smoked stuff I used 1 large can of pineapple juice, 2 cups brown sugar, 1 cup salt, 1 cup terriyaki marinade, cut loins into chunks smaller than a tennis ball and I soaked them in the brine for 1 hour turning after 1/2 hour. I smoke this with alder chips until flakey . turrned out nice and moist...
