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 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 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.

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.  :drool:

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.
