Canning Frozen salmon and Steelhead?

BerettaMan · Apr 28, 2010

I have several fillets of fish that were vacuum packed in July and August. I need to make sure they don't go to waste so I am thinking of canning them. Any concerns or thoughts on this?

I have done lots of canning in the past but any good tips or receipts would be appreciated!

Please do not bash me for leaving it in the freezer so long, I have already lectured myself.

Thanks, Jeff

Add tablespoon of the sweet chile sauce, then can at 10 pounds for 110 minutes for half pint jars. Yum...

No Bash man! It's the norm at my house. If it's properly vac-packed it's fine. I'd either smoke (and vac-pack) or can.
Enjoy!

Or smoke and can! :idea:

Thats what I am going to do with all mine when I am done springer fishing.

No problem with that at all. I do an annual cleaning out of the freezer, and anything approaching that vintage goes into the canner. Slabhunter's recommendation is a great one. Experiment with different sauces - you might be surprised.

I can into half pints, as they are just the right size for a lunchtime sandwich.

I have done sturgeon, halibut, various salmon, and tuna. It sure beats getting freezer burned and having to use as crab bait.
