[#000000]FISH—GENERAL METHOD For all fish except tuna. Clean fish thoroughly; fillet large fish or leave small pan fish whole. Cut into container length pieces. Add ½ teaspoon canning salt to each pint jar, if desired. Pack with skin side of fish to the outside of the Mason jar, leaving 1-inch headspace. DO NOT ADD LIQUID. Remove air bubbles. Prepare jar rims. Adjust two-piece lids. Process at 11 pounds pressure, pints 100 minutes. For processing above 2,000 feet altitude, see chart on page 16 for recommended pounds of pressure.[/#000000]

[#000000]Altitude and Pressure Chart for Canning Meat, Poultry, Fish, Seafood, and Soup: Pounds of Pressure for Pints and Quarts at 2,001–4,000 ft. 12 pounds, at 4,001–6,000 ft. 13 pounds, and at 6,001–8,000 ft. 14 pounds. The processing time is the same at all altitudes.[/#000000]

Be sure to follow the instructions that come with whatever product you buy. Following the time and pressures specified by the manufacturer will ensure the killing of any harmful bacteria.

And as Pat has mentioned, any fish can be canned. I brought back 86 metal cans of my own canning efforts in Alaska in 1975 that included salmon, rainbow trout, Dolly Varden, and grayling. All were delicious. And don't forget; any game meat (venison, antelope, geese, pheasant, grouse, etc.) can also be canned for use in any meat dish of your choice. I make some canned goose BBQ sandwiches that are beyond delicious. The BBQ sauce (Sweet Baby Ray is my favorite) is added after the meat has been canned.

Come on - what are you waiting for? [] Get out there and load the boat with a limit of Flaming Gorge Lake Trout and start enjoying the fruits of your labors. And spread the wealth amongst your friends and neighbors; they'll love you for it.
