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

I remember you talking about this last time I saw you on the water.

I've wanted to try that process on abalone. A buddy of mine says he does it and it comes out good. He just cuts chunks to fit a jar and says the results are very good. The abalone is very tender and it has an intense flavor of the sea. Next time my friends bring abalone down, I'll contact you.

I found jars at the big Albertsons on the Southeast corner of Balboa and highway 805.

Thanks to Tyler, now I want to go buy a pressure canner.

Here are some useful canning resources.

I got some seasoning ideas from G'day Gourmet - Australian Savory Canned Tuna. Curry, lemon pepper, chili, tomato-basil, tomato-onion, tomato salsa; all sound good. I'd like to try some tuna with Sriracha Sambal Oelek or a chili garlic sauce. I think an oily fish like bonito might be a good candidate for canning. I'd even be willing to try mackerel in a hot mustard sauce.

Here's one for canning smoked salmon: http://www.outdoorsdirectory.com/akf...hing/26566.htm
