There is no such thing as too many fish to eat! My husband and I fish separately, but we always keep what we catch, never assuming the other will "provide" the meal. Whatever we both catch, we stuff our faces and the dog will happily eat lap up every last morsel, and lick the frying pan too!

When I fish I cut rations from 2500 calories per day to 2000 calories per day. I do not catch fish every day but it seems to even out over a week or longer trip. If I am totally skunked, I just loose a bit more weight, which is easily made up when back home.

Many who strive to carry less will spend $$$ on a gear a few ounces lighter, but not really evaluate their food. In my book, if you have one morsel of food left when you get back to the car, you have taken too much. I have never found it a problem to walk out the last day on "empty"; it just motivates me to move faster.
