Looking for another option besides "Shorelunch" fried fish.
(Don't Get me wrong, I love me some Fried Fish! Just looking to cut down on the bulk of Oil.)
Baked fish comes to mind but I'm struggling to find a good recipe that would work well either over a fire or on a one burner.
Fellow Paddlers, please advise!

joad0502 check out my thread 15 threads down "knorr bearnaise sauce" it was really good.also look into the crisco sticks for oil instead of bulk oil. fish in foil(not sure if thats what you meant by baked) i season with lawry's-black pepper-garlic powder add some cut onion and lemon....yes i bring in lemon :)

Yes, that is what i was thinking. Using tin foil, shakeable parsley,and lemon pepper. (in place of your actual lemon! I am headed to the store tonight to try out your other recipe though! Also, I have never seen/thought of crisco sticks... I will look into that! Thanks Shock.

We've taken our filets and the left the skin and scales (most important) on them, throw them skin/scales down on a firegrate...sprinkle on a bit of lemon pepper and cook until the flesh is transluesent. Then we scrape the meat off the skin and burn the skin in the fire. Fish on the half shell.

This sounds really interesting! Hope to get a chance to try it in a couple weeks.

Our plan for the upcoming trip is to try the cedar plank with some lakers (hopefully that is) Soak the plank in the lake for about an hour, put the fillet on skin down, season however you like and cook on the fire grate till done!! The planks are light, can be used as fish cleaning boards, and burn in the fire after a great meal!!

finman we did that 1 year it was excellent also. when you say planks are light does that mean your bringing them in ? cause we just cut-split-shaved flat (with hatchet) a down cedar tree. soaked them over night with the kindling and i dont think they absorbed even 1 drop of water, i guess thats why they make cedar strip canoe's :) we also made a dead wood/branch canopy over the fire grate to help contain some smoke flavor /with a very slow/small fire.

This recipe is a big hit with the group I go with.
Cut up your filet into bite size chunks (1 to 1 1/2 inch), walleye preferred but pike and bass are good also. Boil in water for a few minutes till done but not falling apart. Drain and pour into Bear Creek Creamy Wild Rice Soup.
I haven't tried it with the other soup mixes but the clam chowder, gumbo and creamy potato are next.

Exactly what we did a few years ago. We always bring an "emergency" meal in case we're wind-bound or the weather prevents us from fishing. Can't remember what we had for fish - either a northern or a couple small walleyes to feed eight guys. This fed us perfectly and was very good.

This also works well if you boil the fish until it floats in 7Up or Sprite. Then, dip the chunks into melted butter...yum! This is more of a home recipe, but it would be pretty easy to tote in a jug of soda...just make sure someone else has it in her/his pack!

Never overlook simple broiling filets over the open campfire. Use some cedar or pine wood but keep it hot and a little smoke only adds flavor. Can also add some Zataran's seasoning if desired - or simple salt & pepper.
Truly the most tasty fish I ever ate. Also reduces oil weight you need to pack and is very healthy.
Just be sure the filets don't fall through the grate slots.

We are taking Creamy Fish Chowder from cache lake this trip as our extra meal (with biscuits). Toss some fish chunks in and you are good to go. The link goes to their soup & chowder page, any of them would do for fish. Love their quality.

We packed a few trout with lemon and garlic, whole fish just gutted and wrapped in tin foil. Cooked over a coal bed and WOW!

I bring the butter flavored crisco sticks in. At home I love burbot boiled in sprite and dipped in butter. If you bring in a reflector oven baked fish with some old bay and squeezed lemon is AMAZING.
