Outdoor Cooking Tips

Cooking Over a Campfire

A campfire creates unforgettable flavor.

• Cook over hot coals instead of large flames.
• Use a cast iron skillet or Dutch oven for even heating.
• Keep the oil temperature steady for crispy fish.
• Bring extra breading in a resealable bag to make coating fish quick and easy at camp.

Cooking on the Grill

Grilling fish is easy with a little preparation.

• Oil the grill grate before cooking.
• Use a fish basket or grill mat to keep delicate fillets from sticking.
• Medium heat works best.
• Add lemon slices or fresh herbs while grilling for extra flavor.

Cooking Over a Firepit

Firepit cooking is perfect for family gatherings.

• Hang a Dutch oven over the fire or place a cast iron skillet on a grate above the coals.
• Let the fire burn down until you have a steady bed of glowing coals.
• Avoid direct flames, which can burn the coating before the fish is cooked.

Shore Lunch Tips

Nothing beats fresh fish beside the lake.

• Keep fillets cold until you’re ready to cook.
• Bring a thermometer if deep frying. Oil around 375°F produces the crispiest results.
• Cook in small batches to maintain oil temperature.
• Let cooked fish rest on a wire rack or paper towels for maximum crispiness single layer.
