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.

Right on Tyler. This was a cool read!

old school!

are you from the midwest?!

Where'd you get the canner from? Can I use my g/f's pressure cooker?

That's something I've wanted to try as well.

Very cool Tyler!

I've got to try it... I guess I need to catch some fish first.

I think thresher has a lower fat content in the meat than tuna (sorry for the obvious here). You might need to add some fat to the jars (a couple of table spoons of olive oil).
