How to Can Fresh Fish
Pressure-canned fish is a great shelf stable ingredient to have in your pantry (and free up space in your freezer). It's a great way to use panfish that are too small to filet. After canning, you can flake the fish off the bones (small bones will become soft, and the larger ones are easily removed) and make fish cakes and croquettes, salads, soups, and more.
