Boat Food. Any cool new ideas for us?

[trayson]

So when we're boating there's always the typical chips, fruit, sandwiches. But what are some other ideas that you all use to mix it up?

We bought a metal thermos and precook brats/dogs/sausages and add them into boiling water in the thermos. keeps them hot all day and then we bring condiments and buns and have hot lunch.


Any other cool ideas that we should try? What are some of your favorite lunches/snacks?

my buddy made a portable grill, he had one of those small cheap coleman grills and welded a long pipe to the bottom of it and made a point at the end. so when we would go to our spot to relax ( sand bar) he would pull it out and twist that thing into the sand and pull out one of those tiny propane tanks and we would grill hots, venison and burgers

We like to have a taco bar with all the fixin's. We also do ribs with lots of BBQ sauce for a quick lunch and ice cream sundae bar with all the toppings for dessert. Mmmmm. Love me some Moomba ribs and ice cream sundaes!

Peanut butter balls , made with rolled oats mini chioc chips and a bit of honey

The norm is sandwiches & chips. We sometimes do wraps and cut those up into bits size pieces. Vege tray and dip. Hummus, cheese, crackers. Or on occasion we will do chicken tenders.

Gin & Tonics.... Lots of 'em ...

[docuw]

We do sushi rolls. Call ahead, pick them up on the way to the lake. Clean and a easy.

Cheetos :cool: joking!

In all seriousness I like to pre-make Bloody Mary's in Mason Jars...margaritas too and vodka-sprites..

Sausage and cheese

My wife's makes some kind of rolls with flour tortillas, ham, mayo, cheese and some other stuff..

And the logistics of these?

I'd say that there would be a big LOL before and after kaneboat's post.

Pretty sure he keeps his boat in a cleaner place than that.....

[moombadaze]

I don't know how Kaneboats does it, I mean he has 6 kids and all to manage when he goes out, but when the taco bar is pulled out, its feast on time. last time he had chicken slow cooked in a crockpot that was incredible

Food on the boat? What? There is room for food on your boat?

I take all the carbs I need in the cooler, liquid carbs.

[zabooda]

Homemade salsa when everything is in season and cilantro/lime shrimp from Costco. Football season, brots on the grill and take along the 32" flat screen, inverter and a long extension cord.

[jmvotto]

Strawberry daiquiris !

[trmaggie98]

We grille hot dogs, wrap them in foil, place in a ziplock bag and throw them on the dash, stay hot all day.

We also pick up chicken express tenders, cut up summer sausage and cheese

Daughter works at Subway. I regularly come rolling out of there with six foot longs for under $20.

I figure the 2000 calorie intake from liquid gold covers the rest.

Pizza can be delivered to the ramp if you know who to call.

[mmandley]

Normally what shows up on the boat, at no real concern to me is,

Bag popcorn <we call it crack corn>
BBQ Fritos Twists
Beef jerky
Large container of fruit, watermelon normally with mint in it.

Boat crew brings anything from home made sandwiches, subway, energy bars, mixed nuts, dried fruits.

Basically I am ok with most things, if its messy you sit on the swim deck, if its the dreaded orange, yellow, red, you stain it you replace it.
Chocolate normally a first time guest idea and they learn real fast why its a bad idea on the boat as they drink that candy bar from the wrapper.

[trayson]

We really enjoyed brining the sandwich fixins and using Kings Hawaiian Rolls. The wife hits up a restaurant supply store and gets the individual mayo packets.

Costco has "steak strips" that are even better than jerky.

Thanks for the new ideas!

We always do Buffalo Chicken Dip with tortillas for when we are anchored up, but when the grill comes out the possibilities are endless.:cool:

Wrap your brats in tin foil and place them on your manifolds. I use to do this with burritos all the time when wheeling.

Does anyone have a pizza delivery boat on their lake? I'm on lake st. Clair between Windsor and detroit and we got this thing.

Yeah, I've thought of this too. I'd imagine they'd get hot enough to warm. Not sure about hot enough to cook though, so I'd want precooked stuff there...

There's a bar-b-que boat on Eagle Mountain Lake.

I'm on Torch in Northern Michigan and there is a party store that delivers whatever you want to the sandbar.

There are also a few pontoons that set up every weekend, like food trucks on the lake - licensed and everything.

We need some of these mobile food boats on livingston!!
