Albacore Tuna

[AppleJax]

There was a recent thread about Albacore Tuna, a question was asked about what to do with all of it? Tuna sandwiches of course! I had 2 left over from last year taking up room in my freezer so I decided to can them.





And the finished product!

wow thats cool, great job being that its last years fish was there any deterioration of the meat? does tuna keep well after long refrigeration? fresh fish i find they get freezer burnt fairly easily and wonder if salt water fish keep better.

[AppleJax]

No deterioration at all! They were frozen at sea and keep very well the skin is like leather! Just had them sitting in the freezer unsealed

Nice!
So when, where and how much was the trip for the Tuna?

[AppleJax]

Very cheap, bought them at the Comox dock sales lol. It's on my bucket list in the near future!

You could have regaled a story of high seas and epic fights.
It is going to be one of my weekends next year.
