When working at a cannery in Alaska we smoked a bunch of sockeye and had the guys can it on the line. On a camping trip with some buddies I found one of those cans of smoked reds. We ate it. It was close to ten yers old. Tasted like we just canned it a few weeks ago. At the least, nobody died. |

I am eating 2 year old canned elk and it’s totally fine! I think even up to 5 years the taste will be okay if it’s pressure canned. If you do water bathing I would not go past 9 months on anything. |

When my grandmother passed we found some canned pidgeon from the 40’s. NO we didn’t eat it or open it. But frozen is good for couple years and canned longer. |
