Canning Fish

This is a very easy recipe for canning fish, when you bring home your catch of the day, and already have enough fillets in the freezer!

Where I lived, we only fished for northern pike and pickerel, so those are the two fish species I canned all the time.

This recipe makes excellent, very tasty and satisfying, healthy sandwich fillings, especially if combined with cooked salad dressing.

I always used pint canning jars and the cold pack canning method for this recipe, but use any size glass jars you have, adjusting the ingredients accordingly.
