fish emulsion Question

mikie1856 · May 16, 2015

I do know how to make Fish emulsion, the question i have is can i use sun render trout in the emulsion it is pure liquid at the moment, bones and all.

You can dilute and use it like fish emulsion, sure.
A friend of mine likes to make her own, not sure if the process is the same but the basic principle of reducing the fish to liquid is the same. I think there are both cooked (or heat treated ) and uncooked versions of commercial fish fertilizer, they all have nutrients the plants can use.

Welcome to T'ville.

Don't you get a lot of oil from sun rendering? Do you remove the surface oil before using the emulsion?

Yes I remove the oil from the top I use it for making Coyote lure I make, yes I am a trapper.

Coyote lure, eh?
Well that explains what happened to the mackerel I buried last summer.

Dug down a foot, covered with some heavy stones, but no.. this spring I find it all neatly removed.
Occasional coyote in the area here... foxes too, man they are diggers and love the fish.
