Try these delicious and simple new recipes the next time you’re roughing it—we promise you’ll be glad you did.

OLD BAY TUNA SEAFOOD BOIL

If a seafood boil sounds like a bold move for a camp dinner, hear us out: This entire dish comes together in 20 minutes, and all the components are easy to tote in a day pack. (Crucially, none of them require refrigeration). Sweet corn on the cob, zucchini, and baby potatoes bring the taste of summer produce, while our OLD BAY-infused tuna packet adds its robust signature flavor.

SARDINE FRIED EGG TOAST WITH CHILI CRUNCH

Are you an aficionado of avocado toast? Well, you haven’t lived until you’ve kicked up this breakfast of champions with a fried egg and savory sardines. Bring along the best bread you can find (we like a crusty sourdough), and don’t forget to give it a quick toast over the camp stove for a kiss of char. The final drizzle of spicy chili crunch is the chef’s kiss.  

MORE IDEAS FOR FUELING YOUR ADVENTURES

Sometimes it’s not about a proper recipe, it’s just about a few clever pairings. Here are a few more snacking hacks to enhance your trail time:

• Our flavored tuna packets like creamy Dill Tuna Salad and Chili Lime Tuna are little meals in their own right. To up your fruit and veggie intake, pre-pack low-mess produce like raw snap peas, baby carrots, celery, grapes, or summer berries, and eat alongside the seafood packet of your choice. To layer in more protein, you can’t go wrong with cheese slices or a handful of nuts.
• Got room to pack a bag of chips? Create the ultimate camping nachos with tuna, beans, cheese, and jalapeños over tortilla chips.
• Make a protein-packed breakfast hash by adding salmon to diced or shredded potatoes cooked over the campfire.
• For a filling, crowd-pleasing picnic upgrade, mix cooked pasta with tuna and halved cherry tomatoes—you can also take it in a salade niçoise direction with the addition of olives and cooked green beans.

Above all, this is what we’ve learned from all our campfire cookouts: the best meals aren’t always the most complicated ones. Sometimes it’s that simple salmon wrap you ate while watching the sunset, or the sardines on toast that hit the spot after a long hike. And hey—having a few strategic tuna packets tucked away in your bag means you’ll never be left thinking, “Trail mix again?” So here’s to seizing summer and making the most of your adventures in nature—don’t forget to grab the seafood on your way out the door.
