Can you handle sushi rich... One of the best ways to eat mackie is to fillet there and then, soy, wassabi.

Or good squeeze of lime/lemon on a raw fillet, leave for around 15 mins and the citrus reaction semi-cooks the flesh.

*cough* back on track :)

Scotland, looking at mountains
Stick a large flat, very dry non-porous rock in the fire until it's really hot, then coat the flat surface with a bit of oil, slap a trout or salmon fillet on it for a few minutes, turn, remove, eat. Absolutely superb.

Make a silver foil parcel, throw in a chopped onion, cut up a carrot, cut up a potato, throw all in a the parcel with a fresh burger, fold down the edges then put it in the coals for about an hour, lovely,mmmmmmm

Wrap the foil pouch up the night before and freeze it. Next day take it out and wrap the whole thing in several layers of newspaper, place it in a zip-lock bag, place that in your blanket/bedroll and it will be ready for a day's hike into your campground before it thaws and is ready to cook for supper.

With a dutch oven or pots you can do most anything you can do at home. If you're cooking straight over the open fire:
1) Steak or burgers
2) sausages or hot dogs
3) Fresh killed game (whatever your your favorite)
4) Fresh caught fish (whatever your favorite or whatever is biting)
5) Potatoes or corn on the cob (soaked and roasted still in the husk)

Chocolate bananas for pudding.
Make a slit in a banana (with it's skin still on)
Put pieces of chocolate in (splash of rum etc is also nice)
Wrap in foil and cook in the embers - can't go wrong.
