Shorelunch

[DanM57]

I am looking for ideas for things to have as a side dish at shore lunch. We rotate between potatoes and Mac and Cheese. Any other ideas? Thanks, DanM

Beans are a standard, cook right in the can.

Blueberry perogies using fresh picked blueberries. A great dessert. Serve in addition to fried potatoes and beans.

We took up a couple tubs of potato salad. I thought it went really well with the fish tacos. We do small bags of chips on the days we do regular sandwiches.

Biscuits, beans, rice, roast vegetable of your choice (corn, squash, yam, asparagus, brussel sprout), couscous

Make some walleye fajitas. Bring some tortillas and grill up some walleye, onions and peppers, add some lime juice and appropriate spices.

Pan or deep fried Walleye, Can Beans, Fried Potatoes. We don't have enough shore lunches to change a good thing. I guess coleslaw has been brought occasionally. Fish tacos are excellent and we have had them back at camp but not as a shore lunch yet.

I am almost reverent in sticking to the traditional shore lunch menu of fried walleye fillets, beans, and fried potatoes/onions. I like to use the butter flavored Crisco and pan fry the fish using a breading of flour, corn flake crumbs, corn meal and seasonings.

But I do admit to spending hours over the winter watching the various shore lunch videos on YouTube, and I know that some of those lunches have some very different side dishes. So you might want to look at some of those--some of my favorites are the South Shore Lodge shorelunch video, and the 'Rugged Dude' shorelunch demos. Watching some of these Canadian fishing fly-in videos just makes my bucket list get longer and longer. Merry Christmas!

We did cole slaw last summer and it was a hit. We buy the cabbage already shredded, and the dressing in a jar. Before leaving camp in the morning we combine the cabbage and dressing in a zip lock and throw it in the cooler. Can't get any easier!

We too seem to keep with tradition: canned corn, potatoes, and onions and Walleye or Perch of course. To leave a sweet taste in the mouth at the end of the meal, I'll bring a can of chunk pineapple or applesauce. Keep these last two items in the cooler filled with ice for fish.

Take my word on this one, canned pears for dessert.
