Piled it on bread the next day and was very happy. Smoked whitefish chowder was homemade with love and care and I would drink this by the gallon. Whitefish and walleye baskets were to die for. And the whitefish sandwich was as amazing as you'd expect. Bonus: the fries that came with the sandwich and baskets were also utterly delicious. Cannot say enough good things about this place. I will definitely make this a regular stop coming in and out of the UP and plan better so that I can take more home from here next time. Big thanks to the wonderful staff for their hospitality and pride in their food.

Last week, I brought a group of…read moreTexans, Missourians, and Californians here for lunch during our week-long tour through both Michigan's Lower and Upper Peninsulas. While we found this to be a charming local fish and specialty market, we were unfortunately underwhelmed by the food. Most of us ordered the 2-piece whitefish basket with fries. The fish itself seemed fresh, but the batter lacked seasoning and could have been much crispier. The fries were also fairly soggy. We also tried the whitefish chowder, which desperately needed salt. Adding a bit ourselves made a huge difference in flavor. We arrived well before the lunch rush and practically had the place to ourselves, so perhaps this was just an off day. Still, the fish baskets felt severely under-fried and lacking overall flavor, which was disappointing given the local reputation and specialty focus.

I got the Philly Steak $7.25 (forgot to take a photo as we ate it too quickly) as it was their Friday special and we quickly gobbled that up so we decided to go for the Dinner for 2 as well. The lady was quite accommodating and allowed me to get 1/2 meatball and 1/2 chicken with pasta. We got 6 homemade meatballs and 2 pieces of chicken along with a huge tray of penne pasta with homemade tomato sauce and parmesan cheese. Large portions and everything was delicious! Try to make it Monday-Friday when the hot food area is open. We were staying at a hotel without a kitchen so didn't get a chance to try their premade meals. We really enjoyed our experience here and the food was great and well priced with good portions.
