Need last minute ideas for uncooked meals

Arriving to Windigo via seaplane on May 30th. I've just learned that the Windigo concessionaire doesn't open until June 7th so we can't buy fuel for our stove there. And, of course, we can't fly with fuel. So, we've just adjusted our food plan to an entirely uncooked week. Right now we have a lot of tuna sandwiches and granola bars on the menu. Would love to hear other backpackers ideas of their favorite uncooked meals.

I too am arriving by SeaPlane on May 30th, but Im flying into Rock Harbor and am getting a fuel canister there. Why dont you just change direction and go East to west instead. Primus canisters are in stock at Rock Harbor right now. Im sure the plane has some flexibility for drop off and pickup changes. Might be worth a call.

Thanks, I'm looking at that option now. Silly me - I just assumed that the Rock Harbor store was shut as well. Should have taken the time to ask the follow up question.
Thanks!

At about lunch time, I put how ever much water required to hydrate the meal in a mountain house package. Seal the package and put it between your back and the pack. By dinner time it will be re-hydrated and kinda sorta warm.
