We're headed to Padre Island National Seashore next weekend for 4 nights. We're taking the Aliner (hardsided A-frame popup) and will have a battery bank, but it's 70 miles of undeveloped barrier island, so no hookups. I'm planning to take a drink (read: beer) cooler, one dedicated to food, and a big styrofoam one specifically for ice that i'll seal before heading down beach so we can refill the other 2 as they melt. ill have a weber kettle with me.
here's my plan with freezing all proteins prior to leaving:
-ribeyes
-vacuum sealed beef/chicken/pork skewers
-hamburgers and hotdogs (i dont actually like this because we have to take the bread into a super humid environment, but the wife overruled me)
-im gonna make some salmon or crab cakes ahead of time and freeze them
-paella ingredients (shrimp, chicken, sausage portioned out)
im also probably gonna bring some lamb shanks or a pork shoulder to bury in the sand because i want to. just have to make sure i bring something else in case i ruin it. :-o
we're good with most breakfast stuff being protein bars. im thinking we'll eat 2 meals most days because we have absolutely nothing else to do except hang around. im also hoping i catch so much drum and whiting that we waste some of the food we brought. im going to do our normal weekly vegetables, so potatoes/squash/onions/etc.
im hoping y'all have some food suggestions im missing. wanting to keep it simple since i have to pack all this stuff and if we're camping 30-40 miles down on the sand, that's a 4 hour drive into corpus christi to go to a grocery store.
