Great camp, cabin and RV fish recipe tested by the ultimate outdoorsmen! This recipe was developed for two forest rangers with limited provisions and storage and taken from The Lookout Cookbook, 1938. U.S. Forest Service, Region One.

Ingredients:

  • 1 small can peas
  • 1 small can salmon
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1 pint milk (dilute 1/2 pint canned milk and 1/2 pint water)

Preparation:

Mix the flour with the milk, being sure to mix it in smoothly, and add the butter. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper to taste. Cook till thick, stirring so it will not get lumpy, then stir in the salmon and peas. Let this cook a few minutes and put on slices of crisp toast.

Editor's note: I substituted tuna for salmon, spiced it all up by adding a sprinkle or two of adobo seasoning, a couple of shakes of Louisiana hot sauce and thicken with a small amount of biscuit gravy mix with the milk instead of flour. I substitute olive oil for butter. Very good...
