    Assuming you have the big cookers/canners-with the clamp on lids.If you're going to buy one-it's worth spending the money and getting the biggest one you can.

    It's easy,I can the smoked salmon but will freeze some. I prefer it canned as freezing it does degrade it,but is still great.
    Cream cheese with smoked salmon mixed in.....

    Otherwise I'll vacuum pack and freeze anything else,I'll smoke other fish-halibut,cod,herring. I even pickle herring aboard.With prawns I freeze some but will can some in a brine.I use glass quart jars.
    Try it-you'll like it.

    Not something to try in a rough sea, but a treat at anchor or at a quiet anchorage. I offer a shallow fried adaption of a tempura to suit cooking aboard.

    Tempura batter is little more that one cup of plain flour, one cup of carbonated water (preferred) or one cup of chilled water and one egg. Mixed, and combined briefly so as to not activate the flour, this batter is ideal for fish and veggies as a mid voyage "crisp and fresh" meal when fresh anything is in short supply.

    In this case, gummy shark strips/tenderloins (from another boat), green capsicum, snow peas, new season asian broccoli, and potato was used.

    I think that protein and veggie components should be proportional and sensible. Without too much effort this dish could be made veggie or vegan, just a matter of removing fish and replacing with pumpkin or sweet potato.

    Regardless, this recipe fries well in shallow veg oil. Tell me you'd say no to that?!

    Problem with shark is that you cant catch , clean them on a boat unless you've got rubber safety boots ,a leather suite and 2 dozen crew to feed. .

    A good seamans food is flying fish. You must have them in your area.

    Perhaps give a few recipes ago. Flying fish are the national dish of Barbados.

    The secret is in the seasoning

    Troll

    Noun
    One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument...

    A member of an internet forum who continually harangues and harasses others. Someone who has nothing worthwhile to add to a certain conversation, but rather continually thread-jacks or changes the subject.

    One who purposely and deliberately (that purpose usually being self-amusement) starts an argument in a manner which attacks others on a forum without in any way listening to the arguments proposed by his or her peers. He will spark such an argument via the use of ad hominem attacks with no substance or relevance to back them up as well as straw man arguments, which he uses to simply avoid addressing the essence of the issue.

    Oh is that it!!!

    Thats a jealous trolls opinion of a troll.


    You mean an interesting conversationalist. One who is nimble in rhetoric and subject matter. One who can read the level of interest in a conversation and take initiative to guide its path.

    No. I mean someone who deliberately disrupts, derails and destroys threads for his own amusement. You asked for a definition, you got one, and it fits you perfectly. Too bad you don't have enough manhood to admit it.....

    Huh? That's total crap. I spent 5 years as a fisheries biologist before I got more interested in data analysis. I've caught hundreds of sharks on hand lines, never needed a leather suit or anything like it. Standard dress, back before OH&S got serious, was shorts, bare feet or sandals, hat & sun glasses for tropical work. Sunscreen optional which is probably why every couple years I get skin cancers removed these days.

    Oh..I worked on a longliner. Safety boots, heavy gloves , Leather arm covers and heavy plastic overalls were in fashion at the time. The sharks averaged 25 to 50 kilos and could easily thrash about and give you a seriuos road rash.

    On a sailing yacht I have no idea how you would handle a squirming 50 kilo shark on heaving deck. Id say dont even go there.

    On boats its best to keep your fishing to 5 or ten kilo fish by using a small lure and low strength leaders on your hand lines. .

    Shoot it!! its not like its going back in.

    Get a loop rounds its tail and drag it backwards till its dead.

    Landing stuff on a yacht is difficult and you dont want blood and snot on your teak.

    Many times drag it till its dead.

    That stuff costs a fortune...I might as well helicopter in fresh sushi......

    Then cut off its head with a butter knife. You gotta a do what you gotta do.

    Drown it with cheap whisky it works every time it gets so drunk it dies.

    Just pour it into its gills. Well it works with other fish and saves smashing it brains in with a rolling pin.
