This.
Relatively cheap considering what you get, and they clean up easy.
I got hooked on them when I was in the Navy and got forced into security. We used to be able to buy them at the commissary, but since I got out I've had to pay full price.

I'll tell you what... the best camping dining experience I had was this:

We got about 10 lbs of clams, 5 lbs of oysters and 1 very large, cast iron pan. Kept the shellfish fresh in a large cooler filled with water that I would refresh every so often. The cast iron pan I used more or less looked like a dutch oven, but it had a handle on both the pan and the lid, and the lid would double as a griddle. Anyway.

Take your cast iron pan, toss in your clams with some chopped garlic, a stick of butter, and a bottle of cheap dry white wine or dry vermouth.

Set the pan, covered with the lid, on the campfire grate or directly on the fire until the clams cook and open up.

Eat like kings.

You probably don't need as many clams as I had, depending on the size of your party. My (now ex-) gf's brother is a clam digger with a large shellfish company on Puget Sound, and so he dug them for us and just gave them to us. If I was buying them I would probably go with only 5lbs or so.

mmmm clams

you could take some corn and grill it, soak it in water first for a bit, once cooked everything should clean right off before you eat it easily (yes, cook it in the leaves)

take cast iron cookware and you can cook damn near anything you want, given enough time. root veggies, a hunk of beef and a can of beef or veggie stock would make for some pot roast

Well, I take it you aren't packing this stuff to your campsite so you are only limited by what you can fit in a cooler in your vehicle.

BTW-Bears recognize coolers as a source of food so you want to be very careful what you bring and where you keep it.

yeah arent you supposed to tie that stuff up in the air or a tree or something?

Just don't leave it in a picnic basket for yogi to find.

He's smarter than the average bear...
