Cooking fresh-caught fish
over your Freedom Campfire is a true camper's reward. It’s easy
and delicious. Surf’s up!
After catching trout or another species in the
stream or lake you are camping near, clean each fish
and then filet and de-bone them.
Prepare a low fire for
cooking. You will need a skillet for use over the grill
rack.
While waiting for the fire to burn down, mix together
your fish batter:
1 cup of dry buttermilk pancake mix
3⁄4 cup beer
1⁄4 cup oil
Once the fire has burned down to almost no flame,
spread out and level the coals. Then place the grill
rack on
the container
and set your skillet on top of it.
When the skillet is hot, dry the filets and dip them
into the batter. Add a splash of oil to the pan, and
fry each filet until
it's golden brown in color and is as crisp as
you'd like it to be.
Now take your fish from the pan and squeeze a little
lemon on it -- fresh caught and cooked perfectly!
