Meat on a Boat

If you eat meat, you’ve probably got some questions about storing and using meat on your boat. I know I sure did! Actually, I was lucky as much of what I’d learned from my one-time butcher dad and on numerous camping and canoeing trips really carried over.

These days, most of us are used to buying meat all nicely butchered into the exact cuts we want, and we have large refrigerators with a meat storage drawer — not to mention a good-sized freezer. On a boat, you may not have any of this . . . but you can still have great meals with meat. Yeah, even if you don’t have a refrigerator.
