+80 Year old Jar of preserved Salmon

[Hillbilly Prince]

So you tease us with the thought but don't share the recipe, Now that is down right mean. LOL

Well, it was from scratch. So can of salmon, egg,flour, and mix it up and cook like pancakes. Think you could add a little milk...might be a good idea to add a teaspoon of baking powder.

You could probably trap Martin with that old canned salmon. Yum!

More likely the local skunk...they got a bad habit of showing up at the worst
times..

Some 30 years back I was trapping mink, and made my own fish oil. Not
hard to make really...just catch a bunch of fish, chop them up (guts and all)
and put the pieces in a 1 gal. glass jar, put the lid on. Poke a hole in the
lid and put in an exhaust tube about 1/2" x 18" long. Be sure to seal
around the vent tube where it goes through the lid.

Find a good spot, down wind, and bury it about a foot deep, with
the vent hose poking up above ground. Come back in a year (or so) and
dig it back up. When you open it up, but sure a good stiff wind is hitting
you in the back.

You'll have both fish oil, and fish "paste". Smells awful...works great.

I wonder if some scientists would like to compare it to the Salmon coming from our oceans now. You might want to check with a local university! Great find. I grew up eating canned salmon, one of my favorites!

My nephew is a waste water guy. Has been to Guam, Saipan, Phillipines working on systems. Has eaten such things as fried bat wings(leave hair on), and a lot of fish. Hhe was warned about the levels of mercury in him by a doctor. Told to cut back on fish.

I have a story to rival this one I think - about 20 years ago a friend of mine showed me a can of oysters from about 1920 - Unopened , with an intact label - kind of a "black face" African American - rather racist looking now days ! I can only imagine the stench if that can was opened now !

I found a still sealed bottle of crown royal dated 1970,yup i drank it.

 

[Argentium]

Red James Cash , I inherited a bottle of Crown Royal - sealed from 1957 I think , I probably could have sold it for decent money , I too enjoyed it !

ARG,i checked out the possibilities of selling mine.The thing that kills selling old whiskey,etc,is that once it leaves the cask it stops aging.

Wow I’d buy that being from Louisiana “racist oysters” is very collectible.
