SHORE LUNCH The Great Canadian Shore Lunch Eating a fish that you caught just 20 minutes ago is one of the great pleasures afforded to those who venture to Canada on a fishing trip. Our cold and crystal clear lakes create a texture and a taste to the fillet that just can’t be beat. While walleye is the most popular choice for anglers when it comes to shore lunch, many other species such as pike, black crappie and trout taste just as good or better! 10 | 2016 Sunset Country Guide There are multiple ways you can prepare a shore lunch though the traditional Canadian shore lunch fare includes battered fillets dipped in hot oil, usually prepared over a campfire on a flat island. Optional sides for your meal include grits, corn, beans (heated in the can) and some fried sliced potatoes and onions; the word “mouthwatering” isn’t quite good enough to describe what it tastes like! Your shore lunch will be prepared by your guide if you have one or you can do it all by yourself – it just takes a little practice to get it right!
