Trapper 124, in another era I produced fish oil in 55 gallon barrels. I used a by-fish...carp...that had limited market appeal. Crop it up. Stacked the barrel about half full. Sealed the lid with caulk, air tight. Stick a hose (cut off garden type) in the top and be sure it is not into the meat, and sealed this. It needs to be air tight. Run the hose into a gallon of water in a jug or bucket. This vents the gas off the oil without letting bug, flies, etc into the barrel, and lets it bubbled off the gas. My barrels had full sun exposure and were black. It should cooked off well in a about one summer...at least it did here in Arkansas, but it's hot here. Once unsealed the odor is mild, the liquid dipped off the top is a golden yellow in color and not as thick as you would expect. The slough in the bottom is a great fish emulsion and sold to flower growers and serious gardeners. Since you live near the Might Mississippi, carp should be easy to come by, and you too have hot summers. Good luck.
