mommato3boys Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Has anyone else canned salmon or tuna? My hubby loves salmon but can not eat the "store bought" canned and frozen because of the dye used. We have a local chain store than can get me fresh caught no dye added but it cost $20 a pound. Right now it a "splurge" but I was thinking if I could just cough up the $100 bucks for the 5lb box and can it we would have it through the winter. I was just wondering if anyone had canned fish and had success. Quote Link to comment
Ambergris Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I used these instructions:http://nchfp.uga.edu/how/can_05/smoked_fish.html but with a good pinch of salt at the bottom of each jar. It turned out mushier than commercially canned salmon and, really, way too salty. Quote Link to comment
Daelith Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 2leelou Presserves has a video on you tube about canning salmon. I like her stuff. Nice lady. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtofCnZmNJw Quote Link to comment

kappydell Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 the university of alaska fairbanks extension has the best info on canning fish, due to so many alaskans utilizing them for major food source. I have used their directions and have loved the results - especially their taste tests of different flavorings (bouillon, ketchup, spices, and the like) for adding different flavors to canned fish. I especially like the mock smoked fish - you put brown sugar & liquid smoke in the jar with the fish and it comes out with a nice light smoky flavor. http://www.uaf.edu/files/ces/publications-db/catalog/hec/FNH-00224.pdf adding variety to canned fish (flavors) http://www.uaf.edu/files/ces/publications-db/catalog/hec/FNH-00126.pdf canning fish in quart jars (the only recent info I've seen for doing it) they have very interesting additional publications....how to can caribou & walrus, for example.....or how to use your can sealer. Lots of good info on how to preserve native foods. Quote Link to comment
mommato3boys Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 Thanks Kappy dell, I saw their page and bookmarked it. My nephew lives down on the Gulf and loves fishing. He has been catching tuna, he told me bring my canner and come down one weekend and he will load me up. Quote Link to comment
