Known for smoking their own seafood onsite. They marinate the fish in brine overnight and then use natural wood in the smokehouse. Pepper and garlic salmon is amazing.

Smoked salmon and fried shrimp were the favorites. If you're lucky, the guy outside by the smoker will give you some free salmon too.

Alexa Tang

It's all amazing! Smoked fish galore! Smoked salmon and smoked shrimp are especially delicious and creamy smoky. Peppered trout also a great pick. Really you can't go wrong with anything.

FYI This is literally a small shack...no tables and chairs to be found...with that said, anything you get here is great from the smoked fish to their dinners ...prices are worth it too!

Smoked shrimp and salmon - wow. Grab some and head east with a blanket to enjoy a smoked fish picnic on the shores of Lake Michigan.

Smoked shrimps is a must try. Frog legs are also really tasty

It's not the easiest spot to get to, but it's sure worth the drive. The award winning fishery, which has been around since the late forties, is known for its fish smoked in a natural wood smokehouse.

Awesome smoked shrimp and salmon . Honestly everything I've has been good.

The fried catfish was delicious. I didn't really care for the fries . Unsalted thick fries that caused you to take a drink of water after every bite.McDonald's has better fries then them and I hate em.
