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.
