Nothing beats salmon fresh hot from the smoker. I use a Treager pellet smoker with Alder and a little Apple mixed in. The place we ocean fish for Kings in SE Alaska throws away the King Salmon Bellies when cleaning fish! I can"t believe it! So I pay the fish mongers to fill a 50 lb box with vacuum packed King salmon bellies and collars so I can make Squaw Candy all winter. 50-50 Soy sauce and Real maple syrup brine for a week, 2 hours to form pelicule and smoke in Alder. No better eating.My kids call them Maple Bars. Excellent video.

We have the exact same pressure cooker/canner. Even have a glass top range too. The little heavy weight is called a "jiggler". That little thing that pops up on pressure is actually a lock/safety device. You can't open it when that thing is up. Been growing our own veg and raising our own meat for the past 10 years. Got plenty of vids on it too. Last year we bought a 40' MH and wintered in Pahrump NV. Came back this spring. Loved it so much, we are selling the farm and going fulltime on the road. South in the winter and north in the summer. Going to be doing a lot of fishing in ID and MT so yeh, going to be smoking a ton of salmon. We will continue making vids but they will be more of us on the road. Might even have to do an Alaskan trip. Stay sharp and maybe we'll see you Folks on the road.

You ought to set some kind of heatproof spacer between the two levels of jars, to avoid jar breakage. Down here on the outside, (Skagit County in Washington State ) I do a lot of fish processing, since I'm retired, and do a lot of fishing. Smoking/canning works for most fish. I smoke/can all the seagoing salmon I catch, (except Coho, which gets eaten fresh as roasts, or steaks ) Kokanee,Trout, and Lake Whitefish. Experimenting with Peamouth Chub, ( minnow family ) which is bycatch in the lake where I fish for Kokanee. What doesn't go in jars, gets smoked and vacumn sealed, which frozen, will last for two years, and is easier than pressure canning. The downside to that is dependence upon grid power. I do so much canned product that I have two canners, a modern version, ( which must be used on an electric range, because of it's thin walls and bottom ) and an ancient canner, which my Grandmother used atop her wood range back in the 1920-30s, and which I can use atop my wood stove, or a propane fired camp stove.

We don't really can in the uk I find it fascinating, different pressures at different elevations above sea level. I bet those glass jars add a lot of weight to the motor home, is there no other material you could use, vacuumed sealed bags, plastic? I bet some of that caribou would be good smoked. Next time you have a glut of salmon you should try making gravlax no good really for preserving just quite tasty.

Canning meat and fish without using a pressure canner is asking for food poisoning. Check out the USDA's guide for canning. Also I don't give a rat's ass if your mother, grandmother etc didn't use a pressure canner mankind has learned a lot about food poisoning since then.

I’m not hating, but how can a fish fillet be raw after being smoked for an hour and a half? I wait until my oak wood and apple chips have the smoker at 220 give or take. They’ve already been cured, and they’re sure as hell cooked after 90 minutes.
@lsesternester32316 жыл бұрын
Oh yeah, you might want to google “Brine”, because what you’re doing doesn’t work. If it did, your salmon wouldn’t be raw.
@chemsrus49145 жыл бұрын
@@lsesternester3231 I think he is suggesting it is raw enough most wouldn't want to eat it. Besides his method is for smoking and jarring which usually requires a slightly more raw product to render a moist yet smoky finish. If you smoke the fish too long before drying, you will get dryer fish. The jarring process basically cooks the fish a second time to seal. A solution for this is to lightly smoke your fish and then jar, that way you preserve all those fats and some juices. Everyone has their own personal take on smoking and jarring. I'd try not to get to bent out of shape cause the guy says it's raw. Obviously you're not here for tips or suggestions but to criticize. Nothing worse than a hater, I think the guy knows the difference between raw and cured FFS.
