Boat-Friendly Recipes
Cooking on a boat is different, but boat-friendly recipes make great meals not just possible but easy.
Yeah. Real meals from easy-to-find and easy-to-store ingredients, that you can make without electrical appliances in a tiny kitchen!
Cooking Kingfish
Kingfish (king mackerel) is usually smoked, particularly the larger ones. But you can turn it into “poor man’s lobster” very easily . . . and it’s even a boat-friendly recipe with no smoker needed!
Lin Pardey’s Mussel Chowder
Warm and tasty, mussel chowder is satisfying on a cool sailing day. A favorite recipe from voyaging sailor, Lin Pardey.
Sami’s Shrimp Tacos
Shrimp and mango tacos . . . a little bit spicy, a little bit sweet . . . and totally wonderful!
Cucumber Dressing or Dip
Simple, easy and delicious! Use as a salad dressing, dip (with vegetables, crackers or chips) or as salsa-ish topping on tacos or chicken!
My Favorite Pork Chops
Growing up, I LOVED the pork chops at The Embers restaurant in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. They even gave away the recipe! Here, I’ve modified it a bit to make a smaller portion, reduce the sodium some and make it a tad more “boat friendly” — but with all the flavor of the original!!
Spicy Canned Corn
Instead of just heating up a can of corn, spend just a couple extra minutes to add flavor and interest!
Drew’s Jambalaya
Looking for a a great one-pot make-ahead-and-reheat meal? Whether for a weekend on the boat, heading out on a passage, or a hearty meal on a cool day, jambalaya is great. Add some friends, music and cold beer and you’ve got a party!!
Mexican Layered Dip
Looking for a “special” appetizer? Mexican Layered Dip is great when appetizers will stand in for a meal, such as an extended happy hour or while watching a sports event!
Barbecue Sauce
Can’t get BBQ sauce where you are? Or out? It’s easy to make your own!
