galley cook
Maritime meal preparer
A galley cook prepares food in a ship's kitchen (the galley).
The term applies to anyone cooking aboard a vessel, from cruise ship chefs to the lone cook on a fishing boat.
The confined space and motion of the sea make galley cooking its own discipline: He worked as a galley cook on freighters for twenty years.
