2 DinnersYou will need:
Aluminum foil
Mixing bowl
1 broccoli crown cut small
½ stick butter cut into patties
½ tablespoon Old Bay
1 large onion (white) cut in half, then sliced thin
8 cleaned baby carrots sliced
2 sticks celery sliced
1 potato cut small
1 pound fish fillets de-boned and cut into bite-sized pieces
½ can beer or ½ glass white wine (water may also be used)
Once all the vegetables are cut up, add them to the mixing bowl and toss with Old Bay seasoning.
Arrange foil by using two pieces per dinner (double layer). Fold the sides of the foil up and make a large pocket.
Add vegetables, and put the bite-sized fish pieces on top. Then add the butter.
Now start to roll up, partially closing the foil pocket. Add beer or wine (or water) and then close the foil pocket completely by crimping all ends together.
As for cooking the Fish Hobo dinners, you may use an oven or grill; however, this dish is usually done while camping and using your campfire.
To cook over fire, rake a large amount of hot coals to one side and place the Fish Hobo dinners directly on the coals.
Whether you use fire, oven, or grill, you generally only need to place it once on the hot surface (no need to flip), and they take about 30-35 minutes to cook.
Fish Hobo dinners may be made ahead of time and placed in a ziplock bag on ice (for camping). Just remember to add beer or wine (or water) right before cooking.
