Ditto that Smiley
Any fish or meat source is good in it.

I think my favorite is:

Pan seared walleye laced with Paul Prudhome's blackened redfish seasoning
Herb seasoned cous cous
Cache Lake garlic fry bread
Backpacker's Pantry strawberry cheesecake
Nalgene of "iced" tea  (a nice cab would work, but I have to draw the line somewhere!)

After dinner with a nice sunset and comfortable perch ... a modest portion of single-malt scotch.

Fresh brook trout.  Over the fire.  Nothing added.

Fish Tacos!!  
I guess they're more like burritos than tacos, but that's what we call them.  At least one, but sometimes two nights a week.

Fresh smallmouth, walleye or pike will do.  Fry it up with taco seasoning mix - breaking the fillets into little chunks.  While the fish is frying, rehydrate dried refried beans and rice in another pot.  slop it all into 10" soft tortillas with some hot sauce and dive in!


This sounds like something I would really like. I have never dehydrated anything. How would a man go about doing the refried beans? I suppose I should get into dehydrating my own food. It sounds really good to me.

A man would let the manufacturer do the work!

Its an add water and heat product (and is the only way I take refried beans to the bush).

Works way better in winter when wieght and refigeration aren't an issue.
Bring a big heavy dutch oven.
Fry chunks of bacon in it till cooked (at least a couple pounds)
Pull the bacon out to cook potatoes, peppers, and onions in bacon greese
When that's cooked put the bacon back in
Mix it all up good and add a doz eggs
When the eggs are good enough add salsa and a bag of cheese
Even when it's really cold out you feel full and ready for a day on the ice. Almost enough to make you want to leave your cozy sleeping bag for a col reality.
Feeds 2-3 when really cold

Thanks DD Smiley

You have been very helpful to me several times over. Hopefully I can balance the ledger some day.

Fish Tacos Baby! Has a nice ring to it. Kudos to pghportager for the suggestion and preparation explanation. This will likely be an MT staple for the foreseeable future.

If you prefer your frijoles on the creamy side, use a little less water and add just a touch of olive oil.
