You gotta write to the Campbell Soup Company, RF. What's wrong with jars?

These guys sell 28 oz. Food Grade Cans. That's almost a quart.

All the folks that I work with that come from the villages use jars for cannin salmon.

You just cannin fresh salmon or smoked?

arg

fer now, just them tiny PW Sound silvers mostly, and I likem better than them huge silvers ya get out of Seward; smaller meat texture Smile

and easyer to handle.
In years past I have put some smoke to em' then canned---that's always the way I like best---but this time-round; all we have time for is good old plain canned salmon... man, sometimes nutin's better than a can of that and a good WalaWala Sweet Onions Smile

Remember now... I'm the canman with a 40-foot one sittin in the other driveway... cans are my thing Star

I can relate to wife: after years of taking salmon (or buts') into boat or box-on-boat, now all I find necessary is a stringer (for me, piece of rope) over the gunnel and through the gills ro keep them guys from messin up the clean cockpit Idea

you probythoughtathat but, it's a great step for me anyway Smile

then I gut them whillle still on stringer, put the bodies into bodybags Shocked

(salmon bags I found on the web in great quantity) it's worked like magic at keeping cooler and boat totally slime-free Thumbs Up

I tend towards the "neat freak" when it comes to bein on a tiny boat for so many days-on-end Neutral

Redfox,
I have canned a few salmon over the years. I have never used the larger jars or cans for fish. Every source I have read about canning fish advises against large sizes due to the difficulty of getting the entire contents to a safe temp. A home canner takes a long time to raise the internal temp of a large jar of fish. Most home canners will use 10 psi for 100 minutes for small jars (1/2 pint). Better safe than sorry. Very few survive a meeting with botulism.

Frontier Paper in town (272-4000) sells the "body bags" - aka fish sleeves - aka food grade plastic bags in boxes of 1500. I bought a lifetime supply about 10 years ago & have yet to use a quarter of them.

Great info Thumbs Up

thanx much. I too use "body bags" Teeth

keeps the cooler clean and slim-free to Smile

I had to find them online though,,, tried this one-horse-town with no luck at all a few years ago Disgust

As for the cans.... I love them big ones (though I never used them till now) saves tons of time, and my experience with canning has left me with stuff getting overdone rather than underdone.

If I ever use-up my salmon bags aka "body bags" Laughing

I'd use your source mentioned... shipping them large boxes is so damn spendy Cry

Just got back from Great Injun Grocery Store (10 days Exclamation

) got to get to cannin now Smile

ever try rocksalt on your glacier ice Exclamation

you can freeze stuff in your cooler like that Thumbs Up
