Canned YFT Today

[orcbc47]

Last year‘s YFT by way of the “El Gatos Dos“in August. Shout out to Captain Ethan Hines Canned tuna yesterday, and enjoyed it this afternoon. Simply awesome

Good stuff, i do the same

 

[I hate seals]

Wouldn't mind some of that !! Looks killer. That guy can fish.

 

[Professor]

Looks good. Wife says I need to back off with the BF as they don't can as well as the YF.

 

[joshc1024]

Damn that looks good

 

[Invictus]

Been doing the same, BFT, YFT, all excellent.

Great work on using the fish well.

I believe the BFT cans fine. IMHO the richness (fattiness) of the BFT gives it a different flavor profile. Like chu-toro, a little will do yeah.

Reminds me of the albacor years. I even tried yellow in jar. It was really good too.

 

[fishharvester]

Nicely done. I use olive oil and sometimes hot chiles. Both BFT and YFT eat well. I fine the BFT isn't dark when canned.

You need a pressure canner. The cans need to be boiled at at least 10 psi for 100 minutes. The pressure increases the boiling temp of water, which is why it's necessary. That time and temp is needed to kill off spores of a potentially fatal bacteria.

Regarding the edibility of canned subjects, I agree with YFT>BFT. I would actually put bonito comfortably above both though. It's closer to albacore than anything.

Yeah I learned a long time ago from someone on a boat how to make "mock" canned bonito where rather than canning it, you poach it in beer and then used it as you would canned tuna. Makes some of the best tuna sandwiches

Never thought I'd take the time but finally started up and went all in, great to hear friends and family comment how good it is!

the only problem giving it to Family , is getting the jars Back to reuse them .

 

[the SLIDER]

Done Albacore, Yellowfin and YT. They are all excellent.

Most important thing about canning is - DO IT OUTDOORS! Doing it indoors may cause a divorce or will be the last time you do it.

A Coleman burner will do fine. Like Jer dog said, don't plan on getting the jars back.

I'd figure that folks who can afford to go long range fishing regularly can probably afford to buy a new set of canning jars every so often or maybe not because they're spending it all on fishing

But the jars have gotten expensive,
And around here some times they are hard to find, when you need them.

I tell them if they want more, they need to bring the jars back!! They all bring the jars back.

there you have to pay through the nose for them .

 

[getaway]

Nice. I am ready for some more!

^^this
I have them return a jar to exchange for a full one. That way the albacore doesn't linger in the pantry for more than a year and at any given time I still have most of the jars on hand.
Just be sure to use new lids each time.

I got maybe 10+cases of Ball jars, no lids, if anyone is interested. Don’t do the canning/ bottling thing anymore. Not looking to sell just someone who will use them. In Anaheim / Yorba Linda area.
