When I was a kid I had family who would dip net suckers and can them. Bones and all would be soft. Then make patties similar to salmon cakes .

Sounds like some gross s hit. Nothing quite as appealing as a bunch of fish fuzz floating around in a jar of home-canned fish. The only thing that comes close is a bunch of fuzz floating around in home-canned peaches.

We used to can suckers also, we speared them in the river, put a tad bit of catsup in the jar before processing to give them a salmon color. They made great fish patties. Now I pickle and smoke carp. Headed out next week to hopefully bag some larger catfish to make smoked catfish steaks. My great aunt made a fried then pickled smelt that was awesome, kind of like Brat Herring.

Canning salmon is pretty normal here in AK. Lots of people use it as a substitute to tuna. It's real good if you smoke it first and put some jalapenos in with it when you're canning.

We can quite a bit of salmon each year. Some smokes, some fresh, au Natural. Canned halibut is pretty good also and a great substitute for canned tuna.

I gotta think that would taste great Jud.. Would love to see more of your guys fish canning setups But you have to agree it is the ugliest canned fish you have seen. no? Just finishing the final bits of smoked black cod, king, red, and silver salmon. Smoked and canned (in retort bags) king, red, and silver salmon. Plus plain canned (again in retort bags) red and silver salmon. All totaled, well over 100 pounds.

That’s why they call raw packed chicken “Ugly Chicken”.
