We have a heavy duty two burner “camp stove” we used for canning Albacore Tuna that takes 90 minutes or more. I set it up in the garage with a small TV to pass the time as we did two batches using two pressure cookers...

Oh my goodness, I bet home canned albacore tuna is fantastic!

I hate anything with scales and fins but my family and the cat would probably love it.

I’ve pondered canning it for them if we ever get our hands on freshly caught tuna.

I buy tuna in foil pouches. I always preferred it packed in oil(back when I could eat it without gagging)but it’s hard to find that way anymore. My daughter likes one brand that’s packed in olive oil.

I haven’t bought cans of tuna in years. I can smell the metal as soon as the can is opened and the taste of it.... yuck.

As much as I hate fish, I might even be able to eat some home canned tuna. Home canned items taste miles better!

Do you just pack it raw like any other chopped meat?

IIRC, half pints or less for seafood?

Lucky yous!

My grandma did all her canning outside in a big kettle over a fire.
