A camping recipe from OhioKDR. I'm sure that just about everyone has a version of this recipe, but I really like the way that the salad dressing steams the vegetables and adds a whole lot of taste to the mix. The big thing on this recipe is experiment. You can't really go wrong on this one.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
  • fresh catch of the day
  • 1 small onion
  • 2 potatoes
  • 2 carrots
  • zucchini or squash (optional)
  • salt and pepper
  • salad dressing
Preparation:
Gut and scale your fish, but otherwise leave it whole. Wrap fish, vegetables, and spices in a heavy duty foil wrap. Place a liberal amount of salad dressing on fish and vegetables. Italian is best, but Ranch, Raspberry, or some other favorite will work also, experiment. Close the foil tightly so as to keep steam in during cooking. Place on medium heat grill or near coals of campfire. Cook gently until potatoes and carrots are cooked the way you like them. The hardest part is judging the heat needed so that things don't burn, but end up being cooked. Remember the salad dressing will steam the vegetables.
