Went on the recommendation from a gas station clerk, she mentioned Gordan Ramsey had visited (or something). I picked up a 3 piece fried trout basket which came with slaw and fries. Everything is fresh!! They get the fish from the fish market behind them so you know you're eating a fresh catch then the bread and fry it while you're waiting. The batter was super thin and tasty. My 7 year old couldn't get enough! Turns out Gordan Ramsey stopped here after his producers had and then ended up filming a segment called "Michigan's Yooper Cuisine," on his show "Unchartered". Pretty cool tidbit of information. read more

Cap’n Ron’s Fish and Chips - ows a man sitting at a table in front of a food truck - Fish & Chips Near Me - Munising, Michigan

Hot & Fresh! This food truck may be tucked away heading out of town, but is a must stop. The fish is caught daily out on Lake Superior, processed by the Matson family, then brought to their food truck for you to enjoy. Due to winds they didn't have any trout since fishing was cancelled that day. So that meant double whitefish in the Cap's Basket, and the whitefish was delicious. Thin breading, flaky, and piping hot. Every order is cooked to order and the fries too. The coleslaw is crunchy with the perfect amount of acid to balance out the creaminess. The fish sandwich was the perfect ratio fish to bun. The homemade tartar sauce is the perfect accompaniment and doesn't over power the fish. Seating is outside only to plan accordingly. Between the freshness of the food, the service, and the price point I Highly recommend! read more

DELICIOUS! We walked 1.5 miles from downtown Munising to visit Cap'n Ron's Fish and Chips. I'd done some research about the best fish and chips in the area and saw rave reviews about this place so of course we had to check it out! They're only open seasonally and we came at the end of September so we were lucky to catch them while they were still here. They're a bit hidden on the side of the road but Apple/Google maps will take you right there! Service was friendly, I think we'd gotten there right before the lunch rush so no one was inside the truck when we got there but they were super speedy once they saw we were waiting. The fish itself was delicious, I've never had smoked fish before but it was tender and really did melt in your mouth. I saw some reviews that things were too greasy but I didn't find that to be true at all. The homemade tartar sauce was sooooo good like seriously the best tartar sauce I've ever had and definitely took the fish to another level. It was a beautiful day and the picnic seating was great to take in the sun and enjoy a nice summer/fall day! read more

White fish is so good. Fries were pretty tasty too. Cole slaw was not gooey or over mayonnaise-y. Friendly server. Finding a legal place to park? Impossible. There are 2 picnic benches to consume your meal. Both were taken and there is a constant stream of hungry customers. We took our fish to a local park and ate in the car. read more

Great service, very friendly. My husband and I both chose the trout sandwich with french fries. The fish was absolutely delicious! It was exactly what you'd want, flaky and flavorful. It was lightly breaded, very minimal. The owner said this is the best trout sandwich you'll have, and we agree! It was! 10/10. Highly recommend. read more

This place is just amazing! The food was so good, we came here three times. The service was friendly & fast. There's picnic benches for outdoor seating & beautiful Lake Superior is right in the back. We had an amazing trip to Munising, & Cap'n Ron's made our food choices one less worry. If ever in the area, we are definitely coming back. read more

This was the BEST whitefish I've ever had, no contest. It's a little food truck tucked away in Munising, with a small store and smokehouse - I highly recommend the smoked whitefish dip, I literally ate the whole container in one sitting haha There's nothing better than sitting on a picnic table in the sunshine with a delicious pile of fresh fish in front of you :) read more

The captain's basket was delicious! The fish is so fresh and tasty with a light coating. Service was always great and the food was ready quickly read more

Do not sleep on Cap'n Ron's! First, the fries, legit, the best fries. The basket was the best and worth the $. It included 3 pieces of lake trout, 3 pieces of white fish, and fries. Want something better than that? The smoked fish dip is slap your own mother worthy. It's been 3 weeks and we still haven't stopped talking about it. read more

Excellent white fish! Melts in your mouth! Cooked fresh every time! (And the smoked fish down at the nearby shop is good too) read more

We split the 10 piece whitefish basket between 3 of us and had more than plenty to eat and some left over. The whitefish is so fresh and flavorful, and they really got the breading perfect also. So often, only one of these things are done tastefully. At Cap'n Ron's, the meat was phenomenal and the breading was thin, crispy and the absolute ideal amount. The cole slaw was so-so, but the homemade tartar sauce was a nice compliment. Fries were perfect as well. Nice people and quality fresh fish. read more

Delicious fish. Family meal value can't be beat. Fish is perfectly fried. I would absolutely return.

Great Whitefish and fries. Rugged in appearance but hey, it is a good food truck. Minimalist outdoor seating (a few picnic tables) but great for take outs! Would do again read more

Best fish and chips I had so far! Cap'n Ron's is a food truck with a few tables in front and located on the side of the road. Nothing fancy but the fish is fresh and delicious. A must try after your trip to Pictured Rocks. FYI, they only take cash. read more

Big piece's of white fish. Absolutely delicious. And fast friendly service. Sitting outside with friendly folks from other places.

Absolutely delicious batter-fried whitefish. Super fresh. Piping hot. Great service and as a NYer, super nice to eat something

Was recommended here by our pictured rocks kayaking tour guide who grew up in the area. He said he saw them fishing that very morning! So fish must be fresh and it tasted very fresh. We got the fish basket with the trout and 3 pieces. And we definitely got more than 3 pieces which is very generous of them! Fish was cooked perfectly and the fries were excellent. Coleslaw was nice and refreshing as well. Food came out really fast. There were 3 tables in front of the truck and parking near the truck was easy to find. read more

Delicious. Friendly staff and super fresh fish. Trout is excellent. This is our second visit when in town and we will be back.

Fish tasted pretty good, but we both got sick later. Maybe old fryer oil? There were also lots of flies around the seating area. Not their fault but pretty annoying if you want to sit and eat. read more

If you're looking for some awesome local freshly made fish and chips, this is your place. It's just a bit out of downtown Munising. If you like fish, I recommend getting the Lake Superior trout. I got the 3 piece Fried Fish Basket and it was a huge portion of fish, fresh crispy French fries, coleslaw, and homemade tartar sauce. They also had a few drinks for purchase or chicken strips. There are picnic tables in front of the food truck and it's right on the lake. Great spot after a long day of kayaking! read more

I stopped here on my hunt for some smoked white fish while in the upper peninsula traveling to see the picture rocks. I'm so glad I stopped. The dip is on a whole another level it's completely amazing. It's fresh and meaty and creamy and the pita chips I believe are homemade if not I'd like to know the brand. The fried whitefish was more like a pan fry and less like a deep fry which I didn't mind and the trout was delicious also everything was just so fresh. There's a couple picnic tables for dining. It's near the fish market for browsing for souvenirs and other fish like perch & whitefish. It's off of the main highway so it's easy on and easy off. Parking is a little tight. I walked around a little bit and noticed an old school fish house for smoking The walls were thick with black smoke. It was pretty amazing and the flavor definitely came through in the fish. Get some smoked fish to go. They could use a little s&p but otherwise deliciousness. The service was really quick and came with a smile I would definitely go back. You should make a stop You won't be sorry. read more

I read some good reviews here, but in the end I was disappointed because the whitefish were really greasy. I could taste the oil all afternoon. Service at the food truck was fine. French fries were good but greasy too. read more

So good! The fries are a must and the fish was fresh and delish. Parking was a bit of a challenge but would go back again.

Fast and delicious. Great price. Good quality of food. Got the fried whitefish with fries. Not disappointed at all. Caught within 24 hours or less of hitting your tongue. read more

Excellent fish! The batter was just right and the white chunks of fish tasted so good. The smoked fish dip was fabulous! I would definitely recommend stopping here!! read more

We stopped into their store for some smoked trout and white fish to bring home with us and were helped by one of the owners who was exceptionally friendly and helpful. I bought a pair of beaded earrings made by the owner's daughters that are exquisitely made and beautiful. While we missed their exception fish fry, we will definitely be back to try it when we're in the UP again! read more

Delicious food and great service. Very fresh. Must try! Will be back if I'm in the area again.

Small menu but the best fish and chips in town by far. Service was fast but be warned they are cash only. Beautiful spot by the lake where you can enjoy your meal read more

Have to admit we were a little skeptical of a food truck with 5 star reviews, but this place didn't disappoint! We arrived later in the day after the Pictured Rocks boat tour, so they were out of trout, but the whitefish & fries were both delicious. We got it to go and went and found a spot overlooking the water to enjoy the meal. Great, quick, tasty option if you're getting off the boat and want to avoid crowds at a sit-down restaurant nearby. read more

The fried trout was fresh, lightly battered, and delicious. Fries were extra crispy. It's some of the best freshwater fish I have eaten. 3 piece meal was more than enough for dinner! read more

Fries would have been good if they were hot. Fish was not fresh. Kind of rubbery. Cole slaw was ok. Garbage cans on both ends of the food truck smelled really bad. I don't know how anyone could sit at his picnic tables and eat with the smell. Wouldn't go back. read more

Delicious fish and chips. Not greasy at all. Don't like usual breaded fish that has no fish at all and tons of breading. This place has fresh moist big chunks of fish coated with very crispy but thin coating. The fries are great too. The cole slaw is more vinegary than mayo-ey. You have the super creamy tartar sauce to compliment. One thing I wish they would add is a lemon wedge. Check out the market down the hill for fish dips and smoked fish. Looks handcrafted and well priced. read more

The best fish and chips I've had! A must stop if you're in Munising! So fresh, fast service, highly recommend

Not sure why we waited until our last day in Munising to try Cap'n Ron's but it is a regret that will haunt me for the end of my days. Or at least until we are back in the UP again. Coming from someone that doesn't like fried fish, this fried fish is not your usual fried fish. This fried fish is delicious! Like, wish I had some right now but I'm 350 miles away amazing! The whitefish was light, not greasy, and stayed flaky even as leftovers several hours later. My husband and I argued over the last piece, I won obviously. Hats off to you Cap'n Ron and crew! We salute you! read more

Great food -- super fresh fish -- huge serving of fires -- great coleslaw. Perfect. Will return.

The lady in front of me received her box of fish and chip, looked in the box and asked where the rest of it was? The lady in the truck said: "It's all in there, GRANDMA". Inexcusable rudeness from this truck of idiots. I got our 6 piece captains meal. There are no pieces. There are little nuggets. You would need to spend at least $50 for two to have enough food here. But then the real problem is you don't want it because it doesn't taste like anything. They fry this fish with the skin on. YUCK!!! They don't give you a fork or napkins. This is one truck that should be passed by. I do not understand how they ever got a good review, must have a lot of relatives. read more

I got my boys the fried white fish and lake trout, and they loved it, loved the light batter. There were locals in line chatting it up too, if the locals are there, usually a great sign! read more

Love the fish. Love his store for smoked whitefish and trout. Waiting for it to open.
