A pressure cooker and a smoker if you want to can smoked fish.  Pretty easy actually, just follow the canning times and temps carefully, longer and hotter is better than colder.

i have a smoker. it works good just takes like 12 hours to do jerkey i need to buy a new element for it. can you can lingcod and sea bass also ir just red meat fish?

I also can any excess fish.   Salmon and Tuna are both outstanding and razor clams are out of this world.  The tuna I just do plain but I put a little bit of smoke on the salmon.  Clams get Iceman's razor clam recipe.  I will even thaw out anything from the freezer more than a year old and can.

Never tried canning cod or rockfish.  That doesn't last too long in our house.

I don't think the drier white meat fish woulod can very well, but I have not tried it.

I am one of those who thinks you should kill every hatchery fish you can get your hands on.  So, I end up giving away a lot.  It isn't hard to give away fresh fish.  I also smoke some, but need to start canning.

Agreed but if it so.t chrome it ain't goin home. Just can't bonk the boots.

I do!  There is always a use for them or someone that will take them.

I admire your dedication. Sounds like I need to make myself some frenemies.

ICEMAN's Smoked Razor Clam Recipe.  This is outstanding.  I do this only with the siphons.  The diggers get vacuum sealed and frozen for clam fries.

We can and smoke alot of fish, and try to have it once or twice a week for dinner, but...
Every year we give quite a bit of fish to people we know, that we feel will benifit from it. Nothing like seeing someones expression when you offer them a few fillets and you show up to give them a few grocery bags full. Alot of times I see canned goods, pies, breads and such given to me as a thanks.

I find that the crab/salmon/ling that finds its way to the neighbors has a very karma like affect when I'm rinseing a bear off in the front yard. Nobody seems to mind my antics.
