Looking for a way to prepare all your Searcher-caught fish? How about giving Dave B.’s family recipe for jarred (canned) fish a try?

Dave says wahoo and yellowfin are his favorites to jar. (He said that yellowtail was too strong and bluefin he had to throw out as it was too strong.) It’s delicious and worth a try.

• 6 lbs of fish (your choice) in cubes
