Cooking Fish for Dinner - One Way or the Other
Unfortunately, you can’t always haul in a prize-winning fish on the first night of a camping trip. Sometimes the fish just aren’t biting, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a fun, relaxing day on the river with friends anyway. When it’s time to pack up the angling gear and pitch the tent, daylight might be dwindling. There’s barely any time to cook dinner; time is of the essence. Since you and your friends had your hearts set on fish, try the following Cajun tuna 
recipe on for size.
Ingredients:
2 cans chunky tuna fish
1 ½ cans kernel corn
2 Tsp. butter
1 red onion
½ of a green pepper
½ cup celery
1 Tsp. flour
2 tsp. seasoning salt
Directions:
1. Chop all raw vegetables, melt butter in a skillet and fry the onion, pepper and celery on your Optimus Nova stove until tender.
2. Add flour and blend together. Then add all other ingredients and mix.
3. Serve immediately over rice.
Hearty Meal for Active Campers
I don’t know about you, but when I go on a camping trip I like to stay active. Whether I’m fishing for trout in a crystal-clear mountain stream or taking a kayak out on an all-day excursion, I require plenty of energy. At the end of the day, I’m hungry enough to eat a bear or practically any other creature living in the nearby wilderness. Instead of giving into these primal urges, I take the civilized route and prepare a hearty meal of beef stew. The following recipe should make enough to feed an entire crew of hungry campers.
Ingredients:
4 pounds cubed beef
2 cans tomatoes
4 Tsp. olive oil
2 cloves garlic, diced
4 cups hot water
4 red onions
pepper, to taste
salt, to taste
6 Tsp. granulated sugar
A dozen carrots, cut into small pieces
10 potatoes, cut into quarters
cloves
2 cans peas
Directions:
1. Over an Optimus stove, use a skillet to brown the beef in oil. Then transfer it to a Dutch oven and add the garlic. Dump water, tomatoes, onions, lemon, sugar, salt and pepper into the mix and allow to simmer for 2 hours.
2. Combine carrots, potatoes and cloves into the mixture and place a cover over the top. Add peas once the other vegetables are tender. If the end result is too runny, you can use flour to thicken it.
