One or two other things come to mind ahead of it.  Acceptance of the futility of your efforts, for example.

I get out plenty, it just comes in phases. I plan on going fishing this weekend and any fish I do catch will be eaten and mounted (by myself). That should give you an idea of my "get out more."

To mount the fish requires skinning. The meat itself is perfectly fine after this process there's just no skin. Or you could go the boring route and take a picture with measurements, send it in to a "fake fish shop" and never have to even kill your catch.

Since all the foods mentioned also generally imply "home delivery", your concept of "stranded" seems rather weak.

Maybe this is the future, and we have non-perishable chow mein, and we ordered a lifetime supply of it just before we were stranded.  ;D

Honestly, I would para drop my kitchen, garden, hunting/fishing gear, and finally my farm yard with pigs, cows, chickens, etc. Ohh and the island is going to be tropical so I can grow my own spice. ;D
