Sandwiches

Sandwiches are the first choice when considering a fishing trip and are essentially a complete meal in itself.  Carbohydrate, protein, vegetables all combined to give a healthy boost for a day out on the sea.  Opting for a whole grain bread with a meat of your choice and garnished with lettuce, cucumbers, onions, and tomatoes can be just what the body needs when hunger bites.  Along with the nutrition value, the fact that a sandwich can be wrapped and packed hygienically adds to it being the number one choice for a deep-sea fishing trip.  In fact, you can also go for pies and pastries available in the market which have an added advantage of being pre-packed and sealed.
