Hey folks, I just wanted to share my new discovery. I have been wanting to try canning bluegill for a long time. I started canning about a year ago and had canned everything from pickles to peaches to venison. And then my wife and I bought our first property about a month ago with a 1.5 acre pond. (my favorite part). Well yesterday I caught a mess of bluegill and cleaned them as usual. I soaked the whole fish overnite in a weak brine. Today I packed them into wide mouth pint jars, and pressure canned them at 11 psi for 100 minutes. I already opened a jar to see how I liked them and they are great! Just like my own home grown version of sardines.
Thanks for reading.
