Seafood
Fresh seafood will also fare poorly in your refrigerator during a power outage, so it should be amongst the first things you eat. If it's safe to go outside, throw it on the grill. Pair it with some pasta for a quick meal that will satisfy the whole family.
Like meat, if it's in the freezer, it should be OK to eat later if it hasn't completely thawed.
