Fish
Wrap fresh fish by itself in foil, or along with some finely chopped onion and lemon. Bake on the coals about 3 minutes per side for a small fish, 10 minutes or more on each side for a whopper.

Fruit
Cut the core out of a raw apple and replace it with a pat of butter, a few raisins, some cinnamon, and a teaspoon of brown sugar. Wrap in foil and bake for 30 minutes.

COOKING WITHOUT UTENSILS THE SECRET
to cooking a meal without pots, pans, or foil is a good bed of hot coals.

Roast Potatoes Coat the potato with a thick layer of mud and bury it in the coals. Bake 30 to 40 minutes. The mud will become caked and hard, but the potato inside should come out just right.

Roast Corn Open the husks and remove the tbread-like silk. Reclose the husks, dip the ears in water, then place them on the coals. Roast about 8 minutes, turning them often as they cook.

Broiled Steak
Find a long, green, forked stick. Trim off any leaves and twigs. Bend the branches of the fork into the shape of a tennis racquet and twist the branches around each other to hold them in place, forming the frame of your broiler. Weave green sticks across the broiler frame. Lay a steak on them and hold it down with more sticks anchored to the broiler. You can also use the broiler to toast slices of bread.
