Wow, makes me nostolgic. When my hubby and I were living in Oregon (1972-1984) we went to Brookings to deep sea fish. We had our own 18 ft. boat and fished all summer for salmon and the last 2 weeks before the season closed we fished for bottom fish. We woul filet the bottom fish and freeze them in water so when we thawed them out to cook they were just like fresh caught. Most of the salmon I canned. The last season we fished I canned 78 pints of salmon. Sure wish I had some of that good fish now!! Congrats on having such a nice neighbor to share with you.
