    Wow. What a small town gem... we were so hungry after kayaking the sea caves and decided to give this place a try. I'm not sure why it doesn't have more reviews, to be honest. Partner and I ordered the Fish fry - he got lake trout and I got the combo (both lake trout and whitefish.) I got curds on the side, he fries. We both paired it with some local beer - him New Glarus, and I got the local Apfelhaus cider. It was my first time having fish fry, and geeeeez it was delicious. The fry was perfect - not too greasy, not too thick to take the flavor away from the fish. The whitefish is light and classic, while the lake trout has a flavor slightly more subtle than salmon. My partner is from Wisconsin, and said "those cheese curds are GOOD." The coleslaw they had was really delicious as well. Beer was local and good. Asides from that, we tried the smoked whitefish spread back home which was very good. Man - this place needs more reviews! We sat outside in the main street in their front patio, eating a perfect heaping serving of fish fry with great beer. Really great for folks looking for a filling meal after a day kayaking out in Superior. Perfect day. Definitely coming back.

    "Old school" fish shop offering great fresh fish at a fair price sold by nice people. Well worth the trip.

    I am impressed with Halvorson fisheries. Friendly staff, and best smoked salmon I have had in years.

    Stopped by here on the way to Bayfield, and it was so good that I stopped by again on the way back to the Twins.

    A week or two ago, after a long day at work, I wondered into old world meats. I always liked the…read moreplace but hadn't been there for a long time. I was instantly greeted and asked what I was looking for. It was right about then that my eyes adjusted from the bright outdoors light to the inside light. I realized they were clearly not open for business; the door was just unlocked and there were a few people working inside. I felt a little silly. I apologized and started heading for the exit. A man (I assume the owner) engaged me in conversation and told me that they had closed for a few months during the dead of winter but would be opening in the near future. We had a short, conversation about the meat business, how they had installed a new smoker out back, and other small talk. He then went and got the meat I was looking for out of the freezer and sold it to me despite being closed. It was not an expensive order by any means. Probably hardly worth the time it took him to find it. It's experiences like this that make you want to go out of your way to give a place your business.

We talked about dogs and their habits and his dog loving these bones (which he was right, mine loved it too). The inside was BEAUTIFUL, we popped in on a whim, it smelled amazing and they had a huuge variety of meats. Im really looking forward to stopping by again!

    Had a visit to Ashland decided to try the restaurant. And glad we did…read more Great corner place and atmosphere was enjoyable We were there at lunch. Had a whitefish sandwich and a salad. Each of us also had the soup of the day. The soup was tremendous. Whitefish was so well done. Nice size bun to not overwhelm the fish. To top it off we splurged and split a berry crisp with ice cream on it. Just fantastic. Side note lemonade and fresh tea were very nice as well. Check the hours before you go. No weekends. Found the service very friendly. We'll be back. New favorite in Ashland.

    I am so thankful we picked this place for lunch. It's comfortable casual decor, but the food is…read morewhat really grabs the attention. I had a cup of the fish chowder along with the recommended seasonal tomato and mozzarella appetizer. My husband had a salad with whitefish on top. I was licking the bowl & the plate, savoring each bite. I'm guessing our waiter was the owner and his recommendations were really helpful. Service was very attentive and the price paid for our meal was extremely fair If you're in Ashland and want some great grub, come here. You won't be disappointed.
