Snipe,
I knew where'bouts you were located as soon as I seen the Salt Potatoes in your list....I honestly never heard of them till I met my Shari..She was from Syracuse NY...and they were a really nice tasty part of the first meal she ever cooked for me....They don't even sell them here..but I souppose about any small potatoes boiled in saltwater would suit....
As for my snacking...I might stop and pick up a chicken salad sandwich and diet dew at some point..prolly on the way or back from...rare that I carry alot of the gear I intend to let alone food or drink while astream...errr alake...ECT...ECT...lol

When I find myself exhausted from either catching trees or having big gulpers nip and pass, I just sip my Knob Creek and smoke a stogie while sit'n in the grass.

I can't help but notice that nobody has mentioned eating any of the fish that they have caught. I'll go on record as a fish killer and say that I think that a shore lunch of fish can be a good thing. There really are places where some fish removal is a good thing. Still, peanuts, granola bars, apples, or a peanut butter sandwich is a lot more likely to appear on my menu.

Holy Moses I have to be fishing with the wrong people all right! There's some top food and recipes there!
If I am on a stream like in summer on an all day fish-in I usually have some snacks, like peanut bars, nuts, chips, gotto have an apple too, and water probably. If I can get back to the car then will have to be black coffee as well, maybe a cake as my only luxury now that I have parted ways with the drinkin' n' smokin'.
Often in winter here we fish some lakes, wading out over weed beds where we start out around 0430 to 0500 in the freezing morning. After that session is over, around 0900 we have a legendary cook-up, scrambled eggs, bacon, cheese, fresh baked bread, and brewed coffee. Usually it doesn't even touch the sides we are so cold, but love it anyway.

I can't believe none of ya'll haven't mentioned dumpster divin. Why, show me a stocked lake, and I'll show you a dumpster within a 2 minute walk of the shore. I once spent a whole week at my fave secret spot without having to buy any food at all!! It's amazing what people will throw away! And heck, I figure the more $$ I save on food, the more I have for tackle and such. A lot folks turn their noses up at it, and of course, it's best to make sure no rangers or johnny laws are around, but trust me - the first time you come across a pack of perfectly good, unopened Hormel weiners that just need a little wiping off, there's no going back.

I never heard of them till I moved to Syracuse back in 1960. Hinerwadles (farms) catered some of the best clambakes in those days and they always had salt potatoes.
For the uninitiated, salt potatoes are very small potatoes that can be eaten in a bite or two. They are simply boiled in a huge amount of salt and served with butter.
Now they are sold in bags of about five pounds and you get about a pound of salt to cook them in. There are several companies bagging them but I like Hinnerwadles the best...maybe because they were the first I'd heard of.
Syracuse was once called "Salina" because of the salt mined there. Salina Street is still the main drag through town. Maybe the salt company came up with the Salt Potatoes in order to sell more salt...but if so they did us a big favor. MMMMM!
If you want to get your super market to sell them, maybe its possible by requesting them.
We alomost always cook the whole bag for a cookout and any leftovers go for potato salad he following day. Also make the best homefries and warm german potato salad.
