There are so many gorgeous destinations for camping in BC! If you grew up in this province, you likely have memories of basking in the summer heat and cooling off in a nearby lake or river!
Menu planning for a camping trip can be challenging as this type of travel offers limited options for refrigeration and cooking. Therefore, we’ve come up with a list of shelf-stable seafood items that are easily transported and will enhance your experience of dining al fresco!
All these shelf-stable seafood items are available in the dry goods section at 7 Seas Fish Market in Vancouver! Plan to make a stop at our flagship store in Kitsilano before your next camping trip this summer!
Candied Wild Salmon
This candied wild salmon is skinless, boneless, and smoked. It’s a convenient snack as each 60g pouch fits easily into your backpack if you’re going to hit the trails or spend a few hours on the water. This high-protein snack will help increase and sustain your energy for those long hikes or paddles!
Seafood Pâtés
Before you sit down to watch one of our legendary BC sunsets or start an epic battle of cribbage, crack open one of these gourmet seafood pâtés with a package of your favourite crackers! Choose between crab & pollock, lobster & pollock, and smoked pink salmon. Enjoy these delicious seafood pâtés alongside some crunchy cornichons and savoury olives!
Wild Sockeye Salmon
Enjoy this traditional canned wild sockeye salmon with salmon skin and bones. Break it apart to put it in a wrap, add it to a salad, spread it on bread to make an open-faced sandwich, or mix it up to make a dip. The list goes on! No matter how you prepare it, this canned wild sockeye salmon has high levels of Vitamin D and is a great source of Omega-3s.
Sardines
Sardines are great as-is, combined with scrambled eggs, spread on crackers or toast, added to a hot pasta dish, or crumbled into a salad. Sardines are a lean protein and offer a salty – and sometimes smoky – flavour. Choose between sardines in olive oil, or chili & lime, tomato, and dill & parsley.
