Campfire Trout recipe

This summer, we joined forces with the Ontario Culinary Tourism Alliance and Butternut Productions to create some “tasty” new videos with some Feast On chefs (Feast On recognizes businesses committed to sourcing Ontario grown/made food and drink).

Somehow, food always tastes better over the campfire!

We headed to Sibbald Point Provincial Park where Chef Ricky Casipe of Hawthorne Food and Drink showed us how to take our lunch to the next level.

Watch our Campfire Trout Recipe video to find out how to tickle your tastebuds on your next camping trip!
