Well, everyone I know appreciates good food any time, anywhere, and that includes anglers out on the ice. It doesn’t have to be complicated—just a little preparation can turn any boring meal into a delectable experience. And that’s exactly what these dishes have in common.
Simply do your prep before you leave home, then once you’re out on the ice, drop in your line, catch your fish and cook it up with the at-the-ready ingredients. Just a word of warning, though: These recipes are only made for four anglers, but the aroma is sure to tantalize many others from afar!
