The golden rule of camp cookery is you gotta keep it simple and delicious.
No mucking around with loads of different ingredients, just a handful of key components and a quick turnaround. No one wants to be slaving over the camp stove all night.
A Mexican feast is a guaranteed crowd pleaser. And you ain’t had real Mexican till you’ve gorged yourself senseless on Baja style fish tacos.
Fresh soft tortillas are vital. Make a hard pass on those stackable hard shell jobs from the supermarket. Slap your soft tortillas down on the hotplate for a couple of seconds either side so they’re nice and toasty before serving up.
Fresh white fish is your game changer. If you can catch a couple of flathead, bream, whiting or dart you’re in business.
A few good chunks of fish on top of each tortilla, no seasoning required. A squirt of chipotle dressing (mayo with a little chilli added), a little diced red onion and tomato, shredded greens and a squirt of lime and the crew will be drooling.
Wash down with a frosty cold Corona and you’re living the good life, amigo!
