Wyatt Preparing a Shore Lunch |
Fishing and snorkeling trips
include lunch each day (and a light breakfast for pre-7 a.m. fishing starts).
Lunches are either an angler's lunch or shore lunch. Special prepared guide dinners are also available.
 |
Angler's lunch. Angler's lunches are designed to
be eaten on-board, and interfere with fishing (or snorkeling) as little as possible.
Lunches can include sandwiches, pasta salad (ham, chicken, vegetarian, lobster or shrimp),
Creole fish balls, Belizean beans and rice, fried chicken, slaw, potato salad, Creole
bread, cookies, fruit, bottled water, fruit juice and condiments.
|
|
|
Shore lunch. Shore lunches are freshly prepared by
your guide using as many indigenous local ingredients as possible, including catch of the
day or lobster/conch (depending on season). Shore lunch menus can include grilled
fish or lobster, conch or tuna ceviche, Creole bread, pasta salad, Belizean beans and
rice, fruit, slaw, potato salad, Creole bread, cookies, bottled water, fruit juice and
condiments. |
|
|
Guide Dinner. A special
fishing guide dinner is available with at least 2 weeks advance notice prior to the
scheduled beginning date of a trip. Specialties include ceviche, conch fritters,
grilled lobster (in season), coconut rice, catch of the day in fresh Creole tomato sauce
or coconut/garlic/lime sauce, guava basted barbecued pork ribs, coconut pie, lime pie and
homemade ice creams. Coffee, soda and Belikan beer included.
Contact us for pricing. |
All food, food preparation and food
service items (meals, snacks, utensils, dishes, drinking water, soda, juices, stove, fuel,
etc. - but NOT including alcoholic beverages) are provided on guided camping trips.
Meals include lunch and dinner on the first day of
the trip, 3 meals per day on each day thereafter, excluding the last day when we provide
breakfast and lunch only (dinner on your own once you arrive back in Placencia).
We like to use as much locally produced food as we
can, and get as much as we can from the areas in which we camp (for example, freshly
caught fish, conch, shrimp, coconut, limes). Meals are freshly prepared on site by
your guide.

Because we focus on native Belizean Creole food,
campers will have an opportunity not only to catch local saltwater fish and shellfish, but
also to clean and prepare it (for example, conch ceviche is one of our specialties, and
interested campers may work with us in diving for the conch and preparing it).
