Canning your own fish - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Actually I never thought of doing it while camping and didn't think of wsb until tonights round. It wouldn't be too tough to do while camping. A propane burner for a turkey fryer would be a must as it needs to be at pressure for 90 minutes unbroken, plus the 30 or so minutes it takes to get to a boil and pressurize.

Doug, from my limited experience I don't think olive oil is necessary as tuna and yt have enough oil in them already. I did try one jar with oil last year and it was no better than with water. I like your classic ingredient list. I'll try that one this weekend if all goes well tuna fishing.

And for all the text above it is as simple as adding fish and seasoning into a jar and putting it into a pressure cooker or canner for the desired time.

Right on....Tyler.

I canned about 10 half pints of my albie Sunday.

Used pesto in a few, and sun dried tomatoes in a few.

Tasty stuff.

That sounds like a good idea too. I hope I can try that out soon. I am trying to can a variety of different ways so it doesn't all come out tasting the same. It would get boring eating jalapeno canned tuna for 6 months.

Good job Ty. The albies are chewing up the line. Your place can be 'canning central".

Awesome Tyler! Thanks for the information and courage to do this myself.

I will have to do that next year with all that Thresher that filled my freezer this year. MMMM.... some roasted garlic, sun dried tomatoes, and topped with just a drop of liquid smoke... Man I'm hungry.

Chuck, I don't know if I would do thresher shark. Maybe do a test can first so you don't waste it if it doesn't work. Shark is something that doesn't seem like it would can well to me, but I am just guessing and haven't tried it myself. If you try it let us know how it comes out, good or bad.

Just thinking about it I would guess shark would need some olive oil. Maybe do a few test cans with different ingredients to try and find if one works.
