2025 Canning

[Skillet]

Put up 96 half pints of local sockeye from a morning's subsistence run a week ago.  Good start.

A quick vid of our snagging spot.  We had about 20 each and were back to town in a few hours.

Looks awesome! Is that Redoubt?

[Skillet]

Redoubt, without a doubt.

That is some good looking fish.  Do you fillet and debone?

Thanks 3boys -

For sockeye, I filet and skin.  Ribs off of course, but the pin bones break down fine in the canning process so I don't mess with them.

Awesome!

What's your favorite thing to do with the canned fish?  I canned a bunch one year and it took me three years to get through them.  I love fish of every kind but I never did find a way to get canned into something I was looking forward to eating.

This may be a year where canning may come into the cards again.  Knocking on wood of course.

I hope you get em! 

About half of my annual canned fish pack is eaten straight out of the jar with a fork as a quick protein power snack.  I've always got a dozen jars stashed under a bench in my boat, in my shop, etc.  Anywhere I'm working and need a quick and easy shot of protein.  The other half is mostly split between a quick salmon sammy (1/2 pint, blob of mayo, chopped onion, chopped dill pickle, pinch of shredded pepper jack, little extra black pepper) on good toasted bread.  That's a great winter lunch with a side of soup.  I'll also serve it chunked over a fresh green salad with a vinaigrette dressing - or added to a cold pasta salad dish.  I do tend to over can as well, and usually end up giving some away to make room for the incoming season. I'll probably put up about 50-60 1/2 pints of coho this year as well, which is more than I usually do total, but the sockeye were too easy this year.  I used to can pints, but found I ate much less of it because I couldn't easily down a pint as a snack and didn't want to waste it.

Typing this up inspired me to pop another jar for a bedtime snack

Shipped cost?  You know…like old times sake.

Lol,  can't sell subsistence fish brother. Seriously frowned upon up here!

All good, was just a light hearted joke. And wanted to express my jealousy without just saying “jealous!”

We use to get a load of Albacore every year and can it. It is fantastic in sandwiches, salads, and the vast majority was eaten on Ritz crackers with cream cheese,

You would be rich!  Was just up there and had to buy a few cans for gifts.

I'll just add;  I do enjoy a good salmon loaf at times.
