The Ultimate Shore Lunch: What We Cook on the River | Food

Kenai Fishing Team May 24, 2026

When it comes to Food, here is what you need to know. A full 10-hour day on the water requires serious fuel. We don't do soggy sandwiches.

The Riverside Grill (Food)

Mastering Food

Around 1:00 PM, when the mid-day sun is high and the bite naturally slows down, we pull the boat onto a secluded gravel bar. The guides deploy portable propane grills.

The Menu

While menus vary, a staple is hot reindeer sausage, fresh grilled salmon (when in season and harvested), hot coffee, and a massive spread of sides. Eating a hot meal while watching eagles circle over a turquoise glacial river is an experience you won't forget.
