Snails in Greece. Caribou and moose in Canada. Raw fish and raw horse meat in Japan. Snakes and eels in various places around the world. Kangaroo meat in Australia. Crab brains, tuna eyeballs, and jellyfish salads are not exotic in many Asian nations.

Open water swimmers often find themselves in remote locations, almost always near shorelines and coastlines of oceans, seas, bays, lakes, and rivers.

While some swimmers bring their own foods with them or have limited meal preferences due to dietary, health, religious, or cultural reasons, many swimmers are adventurous and voracious eaters.

Sweet or savory. Spicy or stewed. Baked or roasted. Grilled or fried. Boiled or steamed. Poached or simmered.

Being nourished by a global variety of foods is a wonderful experience for adventurous open water swimmers.
