Canning Fish

Canning Fish must be done in a pressure canner







I fell asleep while canning salmon in open water kettle and the water level was two inches below the top of the jars 4 hrs later.  They sealed but are they safe to eat?  or can I freeze the batch in the jars? this was 4 days ago.  I have tried county exten and they don't have any one in that department.

When you are canning any kind of meat including fish you really need to pressure can it.  I can't give any recommendations regarding water bath canning salmon.  I am sure that an extension office will tell you the same thing.

You probably would be safe freezing right away. I'd freeze in freezer bags.  But since the fish has been out for a while I don't know if I would trust that.  

Sorry I can't be of more help.  

You might try another extension maybe in a nearby town.  That is what I do. I like to work with the lady at an extension office that is actually in the next town over.
