Bankside food while carp fishing needs to be tasty, but quick and easy to prepare. So aside the fry up what can you eat?
The main problem you get cooking on the bank is lack of space and only one or at the most two cooker rings. I’ve used a Coleman double burner in the past and these are quite good, but make a real mess of your cookware and it is hard to get a low enough heat to simmer properly without burning the food. I have also used gas with a Campingaz stove, but I’ve seen some excellent ones by Primus also. Recently I’ve started cheating by using my Westfalia Campervan wherever possible. I still only get two hotplates though, but the fridge and running water help immensely.
So which recipes do I cook on the bank? Well I hate tinned food! I see guys turn up with loads of horrendous, heart attack inducing stuff in tins. Most are full of E numbers, MSG and sugar. No, I prefer fresh food where possible, even if it means going out on a regular basis to the supermarket to stock up. These are my top five recipes while on the bank.
