Many from childhood remember the taste of canned fish, someone still loves them. But at present it is not easy to find a natural product that does not contain various additives and flavor enhancers.
But you can make canned fish yourself at home. It is not only tasty and healthy, but also interesting. Especially when there is an avid fisherman in the family, and the question of where to put the fish is very acute.
Preservation of fish at home is a responsible matter, so you should familiarize yourself with the basic rules that should be observed:
If the sterilization requirements are not met or the lids are not tightly closed, then the lids may swell and there is a risk that the cans will simply explode. Bloating is explained by the fact that bacteria begin to multiply in canned food, which leads to their spoilage. It is worth noting that an unpleasant odor may be absent altogether, but at the same time consuming such canned food is extremely dangerous for health.
In the event that there is no confidence in the quality of sterilization of the cans and the tightness of the clog, then canned foods should be stored only in a cold place and not more than a week.
Cooking canned fish at home
The fish is cleaned of the insides and skins, all the fins and tail are removed, the carcass is cut into two parts. Fish generously sprinkled with salt. After 1.5 hours at room temperature, it is laid in prepared jars.
Bay leaf and allspice are laid at the bottom, pieces of fish are laid vertically. At least 2 centimeters should remain from the top of the can.
A grid is placed in the pan, on which the cans are placed. Water is poured, about 3 centimeters should remain to the edges of the cans. Be sure to cover the containers with lids, but do not close until the end.
The water is brought to a boil and on a slow fire the cans warm up for about 1 hour. At this time, a liquid should be released, which merges into a separate container. Vegetable oil is pre-boiled, which, after draining the juice, is poured into jars. For one container, 5-6 tablespoons of oil are required.
The cans warm up for another hour, after which they are rolled up. Further sterilization is carried out for 8-10 hours on the slowest fire, after which the canned food is cooled without being removed from the pan in which it was boiled.
To reduce the sterilization time of cans, it can be done in stages. After the oil is poured into the jars, they are hermetically sealed and set for 1.5 hours on a slow fire in the pan. After which they cool for a day. This procedure should be performed three times.
Each time starting the final sterilization, it is necessary to check how tightly closed the lids are. It is worth considering that the water in the pan for sterilization is poured heated to 25-30 degrees.
Ready canned fish can be served to the table, sprinkled with fresh herbs.
Preservation of river fish will provide seven canned fish for the whole winter. This is especially true if you have to fish only in the summer. Harvesting from river fish will be a great snack or addition to the main course on holidays. You can take any fish for conservation, but its fat content should be taken into account.
To prepare canned fish from river fish, you can take:
The fish is cleaned of the insides, fins, tail and head, washed thoroughly and cut into small pieces. After rubbing each piece with salt, they are left to soak. Then the fish is folded tightly into the pan and cooked for 15 minutes.
Finished pieces are removed from the broth and mixed with grated carrots and chopped onions in half rings. Pepper is added, the mixture is transferred to jars. It remains to sterilize them in a pressure cooker.
Cans are more convenient to use with a capacity of 0.25 and 0.5 liters, preferably with screw caps.
Do not put the jars directly on the bottom of the pressure cooker, otherwise the jars will simply crack. The gap between the bottom of the pan and the cans can be provided by a clean rag or pan folded several times.
An ordinary pressure cooker holds up to 4 cans. Pour water there should be slightly heated, the water level ends slightly lower than the cans. The pressure cooker closes and puts on medium heat.
After the water boils, it will become clear from the characteristic hiss of a pressure cooker, the fire decreases and is detected for 30 minutes. After this time, the fire should be turned off. Steam from a pressure cooker is released gradually over 3-5 minutes.
Attention! Steam cannot be released faster, this will cause the contents of the cans to pour out.
Cans are carefully removed from the pressure cooker. Only now can you add salt at the rate of a teaspoon of 0.5 liters to canned food and vegetable oil - about a tablespoon to a jar. The fish is poured with boiling water, and the jars are twisted, after which they must again be placed in a pressure cooker.
Since the cans are still hot, you can simply add boiling water there and close the lid again. Boil over low heat after boiling (the start of hissing) for one hour. This time the pressure cooker does not open, the fire just turns off. Banks should cool down during the day.
You can try to open a pressure cooker, but it should be done very carefully and not immediately. If you hurry, you can tear off the lids from the cans. Ready canned food is stored for several months.
Often the question arises, where to put small river fish, because, as a rule, nobody wants to mess with it. There are no problems, you can cook delicious canned food, which guests will eat in one sitting.
To prepare them you will need:
Prepare 0.5 and 1 liter glass jars, sterilize.
Carefully gut Karasey and rinse thoroughly so that there is no bitterness. Then they are fried in a pan so that they float in large quantities of vegetable oil until a pleasant golden crust forms.
Next, the sauce is prepared: fry the chopped onions and carrots, after the frying becomes a pleasant golden color, pour water into it, add pepper and salt, a pinch of sugar. If you like greens, you can add it. Vegetable mass languishes in a pan for about 25-30 minutes, then removed from the heat.
Prepared fish is placed in sterilized jars, poured with sauce and rolled up. Store canned food in the refrigerator. But, as experience shows, for a long time this tasty food is not stored!
For cooking canned fish, a crock-pot is also quite useful. For cooking, you can buy a small fish, such as capelin or sprats. Moreover, you do not need to spend a lot of time on their cleaning, you just have to tear off your heads and tails, as well as thoroughly rinse the fish in running water.
Cook:
Grind carrots on a coarse grater, and finely chop the onion, it is best to turn tomatoes into porridge using a blender. In the multicooker bowl, onions are fried in oil, you can use the "Baking" or "Frying" mode, after 5-7 minutes, carrots are added.
Prepared capelin is laid out on vegetables without stirring, the mixture is poured with chopped tomatoes on top. You can add spices (peppercorns, bay leaf, salt). Under the lid, the fish are stewed until cooked, for this it will take about 4 hours in the "Stew" mode. After - roll up into banks.
Fish is always cooked over low heat. Bones, as a rule, are not removed; there is no need for this. After processing, they can’t be felt in canned food.
It is more expedient to choose small-sized banks for conservation. So the cooking process will not be delayed, and eating the product will be more convenient.
The finished product in open form is stored in the refrigerator for no more than 2-3 days.

Today in supermarkets it is quite difficult to find tasty and at the same time safe canned food. After all, manufacturers often sell us goods from low-quality raw materials and with a high content of preservatives. In this article, you will learn how to cook canned fish at home. And also some tricks used by experienced housewives.
To prepare homemade canned food, you need to take only fresh fish, which does not have any defects or damage. In this case, you can choose both sea and river. Everything will depend on your personal preferences.
Only oils of vegetable origin should be used as fill. It can be sunflower, as well as olive or corn oil. You can use tomato sauce, the recipe of which will be described in detail below.
Home canned food (fish) should be rolled up only in glass jars. This will provide not only high tightness, but also allow to evaluate the appearance of the product after long storage. It is better to choose cans from 0.5 to 1 liter. Such a volume is not only convenient for serving, but also allows you to evenly boil fish in the oven.
Such a modern kitchen appliance, such as a crock-pot, also allows you to prepare home preservation. In this case, you do not need to lay the fish in banks. It is enough to flavor it with spices and put it in the multicooker bowl. For complete cooking, it is enough to use the "Extinguishing" mode for 20-30 minutes. Only after that the fish is laid out in sterilized jars and poured with oil or sauce.
Canned fish in a multicooker is superior to the traditional method of cooking only if you have a small amount of fish. After all, the bowl of this kitchen gadget is rarely more than 4-5 liters.
For the preparation of canned food at home, you can use almost any fish. If we talk about freshwater species, it can be bream, crucian carp, carp, roach and even pike. However, experienced housewives praise canned meat prepared from mackerel. After all, this fish is traditionally associated with canned goods, which are so popular in our country. But this does not mean at all that it is worth restricting yourself in the choice of raw materials. For example, canned fish from river fish, although they are distinguished by a high bone content, are prepared several times faster than marine species.
To reveal the taste of fish will help ingredients such as carrots, garlic, dill, parsley and other types of herbs. Therefore, you can safely experiment in search of the most successful combination of products.
The simplest recipe for home canned food involves the use of a large amount of oil. For cooking you will need:
Fish should be cleaned cut into pieces 4-6 centimeters long. In sterilized jars, you need to put the pieces so that the distance between them is minimal. In a bowl, mix salt, black pepper, oil and a little water. Pour the canned sauce with the resulting sauce and add the bay leaf. Preheat oven to 120 degrees and place jars of fish on a baking sheet. So that glass jars do not burst, you should constantly monitor the cooking process. After 3 hours, you can remove the canned food from the oven and roll it with a sealed lid. Before sending the jars to a cool place, you need to completely cool them at room temperature.
Oil-based canned fish will appeal to everyone, without exception. After all, this product will be reminiscent of that which was produced in the territory of the former Soviet Union and met the increased requirements for quality and safety.
To give canned food a more piquant taste, you can prepare a filling based on tomatoes. Cooking technology will be similar to a recipe using oil. However, in this case, you must first make the sauce. To prepare it you will need:
Onions and carrots should be cut into small cubes and fry in a pan. After forming a golden crust, add tomato paste and water. Salt and season with spices. Simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. The fish laid out in sterilized cans should be poured with the resulting tomato sauce and sent to the oven for 3 hours. Such canned foods will have a rich taste and very soft fish fillet.
Unlike a store-bought product, home preservation does not last long. This is due to the fact that no preservatives are added to the fish, as is the case in factories. Therefore, the home process of producing delicious delicacies requires maximum sterility.
After cooking, canned fish can be stored for no more than 6 months in a cool place. It is good if it is a basement where a constant temperature is maintained. Before opening the jar, be sure to evaluate the appearance of the fish. If you notice the formation of plaque or discoloration, it means that during the cooking process, the tightness was broken. Such canned foods are unsuitable for consumption. It is better to dispose of the product and prevent it from falling onto the table. That is why it is very important to mark conservation with a date of manufacture. This will help to avoid poisoning and other troubles that may be associated with expired products.
Canned fish, cooked at home, is a great way to diversify your diet with not only delicious, but also extremely healthy dishes. After all, such a product can be served on the table as a snack or used to prepare holiday salads.
