Nothing hits the spot better than a shore lunch. Cooking on a campfire can be creative and tasty, but should be kept simple. Some preparation at home before heading out is important. Your basic cookware should be a pot for boiling water, a frying pan, tin foil, utensils, cooking oil, margarine, paper plates, seasonings and garbage bags. Pre-mix your fish coating of flour and seasoning to taste in a clear plastic bag.
Fresh lemon is great but dry lemon powder in the mix is an excellent substitute.
Make up one bag per meal and to avoid spoilage don't reuse any left-over mix. Clean and cut your fish and pop a couple of pieces at a time into the bag. Fish fries best hot and fast and this will keep the cooking oil from saturating the fish. A generous layer of butter is fine or you can deep fry in the frypan. To prevent butter from burning in the frypan, add some vegetable oil.
