Great write up Tyler.

The wife used to can jams and jellies years ago and we've still got lots of mason jars in the garage. Can't wait to give it a try!

Okay the results are in on the last batch of canned fish.

The yt, fire roasted diced jalapenos, kosher salt, pepper, and Daves Insanity Hotsauce came out pretty good. Still not as spicy as I would have liked, but there is some kick to it. Time to try habaneros next time. Goes great with mayo on toasted bread.

Albacore went well with the same ingredients.

BFT, oh wait I ate that one as sashimi

.

YFT is supposed to can very well too, I just need some to try it out on.

I got another idea though, gonna try adding wasabi to a can and see what happens. That should add some kick.

Bonito cans VERY WELL. Ends up tasting better than albies IMO. Just bleed them out and get on ice. Clean them like albacore, peeling the skin and loin out.

+1 On the canned bonito.

I had some poke on a long range trip, and asked the cook if it was blue fin.
He said it was the bonies that we had caught on the troll that morning.

It was awesome.

Ive had a lot of that reaction. We always grilled bonito on the boats. I always liked a nice bonito steak on a hamburger bun with a little mayo lettuce and tomato. Killer.
