Our whole families would all eat together, though fishermen and hunters would carry their own lunch. We would eat dried eulachons (or oolichans), warmed up on an open fire, along with bannock. We also ate wind-dried fish toasted on an open fire with a little salt, as well as smoked fish, wind-dried salmon eggs, and kippered smoked fish with potatoes, among many other things.
