Title: Got Fish? Check it out....
Post by: Muleyslyr on February 29, 2008, 10:08:03 AM: So I had three Chinook and a Coho in the freezer wonderin' what I was gonna do with em'. Finally the other day I got around to canning em'. Anybody ever Canned fish.....or even tried it? If you have a lot of fish and want something else to do with em' this is a great way to eat it.

I actually had a camera close by a decided to take a few pics of the process I go through.

Obviously start with a whole fish......

I usually fillet em' first. Some people will cut em' into steaks...works either way.

When I get two nice fillets I'll cut em' into strips like these.....

Dice em' all up into smaller chuncks like these and there ready for the pressure cooker.

I don't have any pics of em' in the pressure cooker.....usually the wife's part of the job. :) But here are some of the final products. I think we got 18 jars out of this bunch.

Great for makin' Salmon patties and such or making like a Salmon Dip out of em'. These jars will last for a long time....

Post by: Head-shot on March 01, 2008, 06:55:13 AM: They look suspect to me! You should box up 6 or 8 random jars and send them to me so I can test them. :chuckle: :chuckle: Nice Job

Not 100% sure there billy....usually the wifes doing, but I think some where between 11-12 as far as pressure for about an hour. Depends on how many jars we can get in there. Usually fit 16-18 jars in a cooker.

Iceman.....my steelhead fishin' is done up here for a while, gonna start heading down south from now on....save a few for others. :)

Klick and Muleysniper got it down.....Salmon patties and Salmon dip, great things to take out on the boat or munchin' on around a fire.

Post by: Muleyslyr on March 01, 2008, 10:37:22 AM: I've also in the past taken a couple dozen jars with me back to Montana.....amazing how many people become your friend back there. Didn't really have any problems finding places to hunt Antelope. :) Plus you have an excuse to come back the following year to get your jars. ;)
