  Here's an original copy of /u/iron_annie's post (if available):

  My husband is going ocean fishing this weekend with his buddies and I want to make them a bunch of snacks and foods to store on the boat for the trip. I'm a great baker and used to bake for local restaurants, so I'm really confident in my abilities to provide everyone with great food, but I want to know specifically what tastes super good or fills bellies on the ocean. I asked my husband and he said the guys are "garbage dumps who will literally eat anything", so that didn't help my menu planning. If you're a dude who fishes or goes out on ocean fishing trips, what's the best or a super awesome food that you like to eat out there on the water? Salty? Sweet? Savory? Or does it really not matter?

  Trail mix and jerky

    Do not forget the pan of brownies for each person. Ask them what kind of brownies they like and want. They're dense and filling. And have lots of sugar for energy. Each one has a clearly marked box of their own. So no "Joe ate all the brownies again." Same with cookies. Buy the inexpensive glad containers and your set. You have the sweets covered.

  Nothing heavy. I have an iron stomach and even I get a little unsettled during ocean fishing trips.

  Hardtack, salted meats, and pease pottage. You can throw in an orange or two to prevent scurvy.

  Turkey sandwiches and chips

  Sandwiches. Stuff that doesn’t make a mess and stuff that doesn’t need to be heated up(depending on the boat)

  Take some time to think about where they're going to be and their circumstances. It won't necessarily help you pick something but it could eliminate a few ideas. They're going to be on a boat on the ocean. That likely means regular rocking motion from waves. It also means salty ocean air. And if it's a guys trip, it probably also means drinking. You might also want to find out if everything is just going to be coolers or if they might have a way of heating things up. With the constant motion, that means anything that might need utensils is probably out. Sure, it's doable, but it would be so much easier if it's handheld. And with the salty ocean air, you might have to make sure you under salt any foods you prepare so that the salty air can complement it instead of overpower it. And since they'll be drinking, maybe limit it to "bar food" type stuff.

  Ocean fishing isn't that metabolically demanding. He's not training for a marathon. Just make something you're good at making and they'll be happy.

  Crackers. Breads. Things that you’d eat if you aren’t feeling well. Because one or more people on that trip won’t be feeling well.

  Bananas

  Beer

  Sandwiches. Ham and cheese. Roast beef. Granola bars are good to snack on. Make sure there's lots of bottled water.
