Canning Fish (Whitefish) In Jars

[@Kimbra-W0KIM]

It's funny that you recommended that video. I watched a few minutes then clicked on your video. I guess I'll go back and watch the whole thing.

[@mattachtemeier5296]

Awesome. I got Cisco over here in Michigan on a small spring fed lake, gonna try canning some for sure!

[@CarlOutside]

I am sure they would be great as well

[@freedom8832]

Great video! One tip... Tighten your lids much more snug...you will not have the sealing troubles. You will find that you can crank the lids down pretty tight before you get a bulged lid. An hour or two in the cold hickory/apple smoker before you jar your fish...is ridiculously good!!!

[@CarlOutside]

Thanks, I will try that this fall on the next batch

[@besearchingforwisdom6267]

I like that idea to smoke the whole fish first, I was recently introduced to smoked whitefish from Costco and love it. They have a lot of bones like trout but much better flavor and looking forward to trying your idea. I had thought I would use Alder but I don't think the fish I had was smoked with that and I thought hickory would've been strong. Do you brine yours before you smoke it? We have canned hundreds of cases of yellowfin and Albacore and swordfish with pepperoncinis added and garlic in the half pint sized jars. Everyone seems to love it. Thanks for your advice

[@mievanlee]

I'll do this, your recipe is great. Thank you again. Anne Marie says 'HI' from Belgium.

[@CarlOutside]

I hope you enjoy it, I am getting ready to do another batch soon , Thanks

[@H20chromer]

steam coming out the spout! I yelled "yeah Canada!" when I heard that haha! great videos thanks for sharing from beginning to end. I subscribed also

[@CarlOutside]

Thanks a bunch.., just getting ready to do another batch now

[@adamj.8398]

Great tutorial! I've been doing this with venison for a while and am looking forward to trying this method with fish.

[@MySelfReliance]

looks great!

[@CarlOutside]

Thanks Shawn

[@paulalexander633]

Great informative video. Thanks

[@CarlOutside]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching

[@brendan8363]

Very helpful... thanks for sharing...I have 12 pints of whitefish going right now!

[@CarlOutside]

Nice, that's great..... you will love it

[@robertinebuckley4245]

I always catch and either eat ASAP or freeze... why have I not thought about canning?!?! Lol I don't know! I cann other meats... duh!😋Thanks for the idea, great idea... lol and thanks for sharing!

[@CarlOutside]

They really are good when canned up, thanks for watching

[@jenniferharris3989]

Nice video , Thanks.

[@CarlOutside]

Thanks,..Glad you liked it!

[@anitarussum4590]

Loved the video 🧡I’m so hungry too🌞

[@CarlOutside]

Thank-you...I am getting ready to can some Coho Salmon soon

[@TheAADempsey]

Whitefish are my favorite fish! Will have to try canning them sometime. As an alternative to Mayo, try Greek Yogurt or Tzatziki. I use it for tuna sandwiches all the time.

[@CarlOutside]

Tzatziki does sound like a great alternative, I will try that, Thanks

[@fredfable5655]

GREAT JOB!!! EXCELENT!! (I gave you a BIG like!)

[@CarlOutside]

Thank-you....I appreciate it

[@StephenLeBel-np1hq]

Hi Carl. I just watched your video on canning white fish. Do you remove the small bones from your fillets? Is it necessary? Great video. Thanks for sharing what you do.

[@CarlOutside]

No need to remove the small bones, the canning process breaks them down and realistically you don't even notice them

[@mievanlee]

Nice job. Thank you.

[@jenycerratomillamillacerra5449]

thank you !!!!!!!!!

[@CarlOutside]

You're welcome!

[@billmitchell7731]

Great video. Love canned fish. Thanks for showing us how to can fish. Wonder if rainbow trout would be good canned?

[@CarlOutside]

I am sure Rainbows would be good too, ...I just did some Coho Salmon and its great

[@billmitchell7731]

@@CarlOutside yes coho is great canned. My gramma use to can coho.

[@VietCuong00]

Good video!! How big is that pressure canner? Lookin to purchase one

[@CarlOutside]

Thanks,..my canner is a 23 quart from Presto

[@ianharris1775]

Great video! Thanks for sharing. Is it possible to can the fish with skin on?

[@CarlOutside]

Thank-you and yes you can leave the skin on, just be sure to scale it well

[@donnasy5521]

Please share what brand of pressure cooker you are using. And what other brands you recommend. Thanks for the video. Casual and natural.

[@CarlOutside]

Hi , I use a Presto canner, they are economical and do the job nicely, thanks for watching

[@donnasy5521]

Carl Outside thanks for that. Keep up the great work.

[@marcbernatchez3705]

Would be nice if you explained the details of how you set up for slip bobber whitefish. Depth of jig n so on

[@CarlOutside]

This video was just for the canning process, I do have a couple older videos that go more indepth on my fishing setup, check out Day 5 of My Fall Solo Adventure, or the Long Rod Whitefish video those should help

[@cpprcrk1833]

I have canned sucker 's and trout before. I usually make croquettes with them . believe it or not , it's better than the commercially canned salmon in my humble opinion. The pressure basically disingrat all the small pin bones .

[@CarlOutside]

I have heard that about suckers, may have to try it. My wife makes great "crab/whitefish" cakes with it,... I prefer home canned over commercial any day

[@cpprcrk1833]

You might not believe this , but it's true , you can look it up , I live in Virginia , more specifically, in Scott County. We have a very unique thing here , we have a fish shooting season. If you've never fished with a .375 H&H mag , well you've never fished ! lol . Although I always used a 30-06 . Whatever you use , you have to have a roundnosed FMJ , and they have to be on a hard bottom , not mud or sand . They are hard to find now , but I still have a stash of Hornady 220 gr FMJ's. They stopped making them in the late 80's . I've heard that the game keepers in certain African countries pay big bucks for them , as they were their go to for culling Hippos. From mid April till mid May we can legally shoot rough fish in the Clinch river. Now I'm up in years and my health has left town , but I used to do this . The main target everyone wanted was the Redhorse sucker which can reach 8 to 10 pounds. I only went after the yellow sucker, which is about a 2 - 3 pound fish . But taste wise , they cannot be beat . Using my canning method and then making 'fish cakes ' , I changed everyone's mind to this . Yes it's crazy to crawl up 20 feet into a tree to shoot fish , but until you've done it , you just wouldn't understand.

[@CarlOutside]

It actually sounds like a lot of fun :)

[@PUMPKNOWSFISHING]

I never had whitefish before, what does it taste like?

[@CarlOutside]

Its really quite mild tasting like a say Pike or Walleye... its really good eaten fresh, and canned I would say its a little less fishy than canned Tuna. Because they are so abundant up north they are a great fish to harvest

[@FishingChanneltv]

we don´t have that specie in Portugal but they look tasty

[@CarlOutside]

They really are good and healthy too

[@allandam9540]

By doing this canning, will the small bone be soften?

[@CarlOutside]

Yes they do, you wont even really notice them

[@saracadeau4580]

I didnt see you add any water > ? but it boiled inside > so there was water added I presume otherwise how would the steam happen ?

[@CarlOutside]

I put a couple inches of water in the canner, but I don't put any water in the jars, the little water in the jars is out of the fish itself

[@saracadeau4580]

@@CarlOutside thanks so so much ! I think an ad played while uoi were adding it :)

[@Rocko6716]

1st time canning cod do you add water to fill line

[@CarlOutside]

I add about 2 inches of water in the bottom of the pressure canner pot, but I don't put any water in the jars. I hope that answers your question

[@RobinsFamilyHomestead]

Going to can some fish tomorrow! Plan on adding some lemon and dill.

[@CarlOutside]

That's sounds good, I may have to try that as well

[@lesleyhoban6559]

So what does it taste like .. compared to tuna ?

[@CarlOutside]

It's very mild like Tuna, not as strong as Salmon

[@PaulTaylor-ko8jy]

Tailmpa fish you should have deal vinegar dried hot pepper black pepper red pepper and a teaspoon of wine with white vinegar liquid lots of herbs in it and I usually put garlic in my face then I put Canada tilapia

[@PaulTaylor-ko8jy]

Sea salt black powder deal vinegar and dried hot peppers with a bay leaf oil olive oil

[@kekoamaunakea4473]

Is it true a pressure cooker is not mandatory for canning meats and fish? I’m sure in the old days they didn’t have pressure cookers.🔥🐟💨💨

[@CarlOutside]

All the info I have ever seen says pressure canning is mandatory, not sure how they used to do it but I wouldn't take any chances when it comes to this....it is really good stuff

[@larryseminoff7510]

I think if you boiled the lids to soften up the rubber you might get all the jars to seal. Why did you de-bone the fish, if you added a bit of vinegar with the salt the bones would be soft enough to eat. I put a Thai chili in every jar for a stronger kick.

[@CarlOutside]

Thai Chili sounds fun.. gonna have to try that, I have heard Jalapenos too......I do put the lids in hot water but was told not to boil them not sure why

[@larryseminoff7510]

CL Outside I boil my lids gently and I never had a failure yet.

[@CarlOutside]

Will try that next time, thanks for the tip

[@melodyamole7380]

Can this be done with halibut?

[@CarlOutside]

I don't know alot about saltwater fish, but I do know its best done with oily fish ...so posssibly??

[@marcymoir3389]

You need racks it you are going to stack….might be why some jars didn’t seal…..too much weight on them to properly vent the jars

[@mievanlee]

I hate disposable lids. What a waist of money. I use them more than once. I open the used jars so gently as I can and use these the lids (ore flats) again. (2x). It works.

[@angler2058]

I can most of my venison. 👍👋

[@CarlOutside]

I want to try that sometime soon, I have heard its great like that

[@angler2058]

@@CarlOutside It's very good canned. You can use it for about anything then. I've got a video of how I can it.

[@CarlOutside]

@@angler2058 I will check it out, Thanks

[@brenda6crum668]

You're not suppose to boil the lids anymore it ruins the rubber

[@CarlOutside]

Thank-you for the tip,.. I have since heard that, and just been cleaning them the last few years before use

[@briandoss8924]

Why not eat the skin, I do better on a higher fat diet, so I love eating the skin...

[@CarlOutside]

I have thought about that, ...I may try some that way this year
