Shore lunches, what goes into them and how do you do it?

[Fishook]

SAR5: Beside having some fresh walleye fillets, you need to include the following in your shore lunch kit. We use a 45 qt ice chest (waterproof) to pack the following:

a) Cast iron skillet

Spatula

c) Loaf of homemade bread

d) Salt and Pepper

e) Crisco (for 9 guys we use a 1qt can per day)

f) Hot pads/mittens to grab onto hot skillet, move the beans etc.

g) Canned potatoes

h) Canned corn, beans and peas

i) Plates (hate eating off a flat rock), silverware & can opener (Swiss Army knife will work)

j) Butter

k) We take a propane stove/small tanks if it is raining; otherwise we build a fire.

l) Flour/Fry'n Magic for breading

m) Zip lock bags for shaking up fillets in the breading.

We pack our kit everynight so it is ready to go in the morning. We also tape this checklist to the inside lid so we don't forget something. You are in for the treat of your life - you just can not top a fresh walleye shore lunch. Good Luck.

Everone has covered shorelunches with Walleye pretty well and given me some great ideas to add to mine. However, if you have some Laker, cut it in to steaks, stuff it with onion, seasoning and butter. Wrap it tightly in foil and set it in the coals of you fire. Fry up some taters ( "I'll have me some of them french fried pataters")with onion and enjoy. MJ nice picture!!!

I had the best thing a few years back up in Canada. I know some of you will laugh at this healthy lunch. The guide boiled in water the onions, potatos, peppers and seasoning. Once these were all done he strained the vegetables out and in that same water boiled the fish. Believe it or not it was excellent and healthy to boot! I wish I new what kind of seasoning he used? Has anyone else had fish this way?

Bigger fish-

How did you keep the fish from flaking apart? I've boiled fish once, and never really planned on doing it again.(cept for pout Mmm MMM!!) I just felt it was too many pieces and got kinda messy trying to pick out all the meat.

For shore breakfast we like to use the piemakers, a couple slices of bread buttered, a egg, chopped onions, green peppers, some chunky salsa, and a slice of cheese. Cook it over your campfire, makes a egg mcmuffin that Ronald wishes he could duplicate. That along with freshly brew coffee, and your day is off to a great start. And I bet you can't eat just one.

WAG416-

I have never personally done it. But what the guide did was laid the walleye filet on the wire strainer and dropped it into the boiling water mixter for only about +/- 4 minutes. Then lifted the strainer out and the fish stayed together.

You guys want a true shore lunch do what I do when I usually go to Canada. Cook everything in the same shore lunch pan. Use oil, canned corn, peeled patatoes, and put the fish in. Cook patatoes and corn first then after five-seven minutes add the fish. Don't forget the most important item of the recipe....natural flame. No propane stove or any of that stuff. Make your own fire. Makes a huge difference. Trust me. Ohh don't forget buttered bread and a beer.

Open flame? Beer?

I'm eatin' with doser!
