Sausage,Egg, cheese  sandwich for breakfast. Then move on to deer meat and scallops for lunch.  What’s everybody’s favorite food to cook on the ice?

I enjoy cooking breakfast on the ice.  Usually some scrambled eggs, maybe an omelet, with some hash browns, and either Deer or Moose Sausage.  Typically if its lunch, its dogs, burgers, or a chili.

The stuff others is cooking is my favorite lol... but seriously, I'm a big fan of reheatable stuff in disposable tin pans... Baked ziti, mac and cheese, baked beans, hearty casserole type stuff that warms well on a buddy heater. The only thing that I'll actually cook on ice is fresh caught fillets.

A good stew or chili that can be frozen solid then heated up with relatively little effort is the way to go.

Venison, or bear or chowder.. something about ice fishing makes it that much tastier to have food that was hard earned.

Every morning at the shack starts with a sausage egg and cheese sandwich! always have a peperoni stick or summer sausage and cheese to carry us through to lunch, myself I am a scallop and deer meat guy, its like that's where that food is meant to be eaten! if there's a lot of us we usually throw a lasagna or something in the oven!

Fire up the smoker and throw some ribs on. Throw some kielbasa on for an appetizer.

The smoked ribs and wings have always been a hit!. Got time to kill what better way then to kiss some meat with wood smoke?

A couple seasons ago my buddy and I started cooking stuff the night before and sealing it in foodsaver bags, just take a pot and boil water, toss in the sealed bag ( spaghetti with Italian sausage, pulled pork, lasagna) it heats up nicely and easy clean up.

That's not a bad idea. Cooking can be tough if the fish are biting.

This reminds me of growing up poor and Mom whipping out the "salsbury steak in a bag" on many occasions! :sick: ;D 

That is a great idea for the ice shack for sure. :tipup:

On the way to the lake we stop for breakfast sandwiches and a coffee to go.  Once on the ice I'm all business no time for food, just a thermos of coffee.  On the way home we always stop at a village kitchen for home cooked food.

For me it’s usually a batch of candied bacon I made the day or two before. Just something to snack on while hole hopping.

When I go jigging I never have time to eat . I go to fish not to party. Lots of good fresh fish when I get home.

  Before I started jigging and the whole run and gun style fishing, we used to put a shack out. We would have a ton of food cooking all day. My buddy would raise an extra pig each year just for ice fishing. Bacon, ham steaks, sausage, fresh eggs, deer steak, wild turkey, just to name some of it. I do miss having the shack sometimes just because of all that fun. However, we catch a lot more fish now.

If I'm fishing with more than 2 people I bring a propane slow cooker with chili or beef stew. Usually, I'm fishing alone and I carry a ziplock bag homemade trail mix to snack on.

Deeeeelicious!  But at my age, Rolaids or Tums are a necessary "food" for ice fishing!

some type of cheese based chowder and deer, moose, or bear sausage thrown in, pretty hardy, it will stick with you and warm you up

Every time I start cooking a flag goes up. By the time I get back everything is black. When things did work out and I was using my old hardside shack. Deer meat and eggs with home fries in the morning, sea smelts or more deer meat at noon and by night too full to eat anymore. I haven't used my hardside shack in 3 or 4 years since I bought my Polar Bird 4T.

A cold sandwich and maybe a granola bar.  The guys I fish with and myself are usually too busy chasing flags and catching fish to cook. ;D
