This year we had the cheese curds and Poncho's Bourbon Bacon Burger; a smash burger with two huge pieces of properly fried bacon, maple bacon jam on a ciabatta bun. Husband had the fried onion strings, and I had the french fries, which were new. They were long thin slices of potatoes, not quite a potato chip not quite a french fry. Absolutely delicious the middle part of it was more like a french fry, and the edges like a potato chip hard to describe, absolutely try them. The fried onion strings are fantastic as well. Delicious delicious delicious. We ate everything. But let's talk about the cheese curds. Generally not a fan, but I'm in Wisconsin, heck I may as well try it. They were cubes of Wisconsin white cheddar coated in some kind of batter and deep fried. They came with a ranch dip. We devoured them all immediately. Absolutely delicious go there for the cheese curds if nothing else. I think this is the best place in town between Herbster and Cornucopia places to eat. I quizzed the staff about the owners and it is a family. I asked about how they decide the menu items and he said that they get together as a group and try new things. It's clearly working. Don't miss this place. PS it's nice, rustic and comfortable but clean.

My partner's Lake Superior Fish Tacos ($12) were also excellent, with the only regret that they weren't more of them. Finally, the service was excellent: we wanted to catch the sunset at the Cornucopia Beach and they rushed an order of trout out to us so we could make it. The combo of great food, excellent price and outstanding service make Fat Radish a definite must visit in Bayfield County.

There is a good selection of cheeses and cheese spreads. I did like that they sell crackers in individual sleeves instead of whole boxes. One sleeve was perfect for us. We also liked the onion and chive cheese spread. They have some fun pickles and jams but the jars are so big. It would be nice if they had some smaller selections of those items for people like us that are picking up something to eat while exploring the North Shore. I was asking for recommendations and didn't get a clear answer and the gentleman helping us seemed put off by our questions. It was our first time getting smoked fish like this. It could have been that there was an influx of people coming in moments before closing. There is no place to sit, which is not a problem. Just putting it here so if can help someone. We thought it was a lunch spot and didn't realize it was more of a speciality store. There was a picnic table/bench right next to the parking lot where we sat and ate.

My own personal mistake should not be a ding against the excellence that is Russ Kendall's Smoke…read moreHouse. Those who listen to my cautionary tale may end up fairing better for themselves should you decide to make the trek and find yourself at this magnificent smoked seafood counter. But first, for the love of god, if you are here you are a stone's throw from Lake Superior which is perhaps one of the best places for fish in the country. You may like salmon. Russ Kendall may do a great job with salmon. But don't sleep on those fish that were plucked from these frigid waters. This mindset had me eyeing the walleye and the jumbo whitefish sections. I wanted to buy both, but this was just one of many smoked fish destinations on my list for the week. I hate wasting food, and there is only so much my family can eat. Despite what others may suggest, I am not about to freeze beautiful smoked fish. My hope was that pieces in the case might be able to be cut down. But those hopes were dashed. I get it. That's fine. Policy. Mess. Time. Workflow. Yadda yadda yadda. The walleye pieces were big, but the helpful clerk found a smaller one just for me. Now, as the fish selection process was happening, more and more people were funneling into the shop. My wife was getting antsy. She wanted me to make up my mind and leave. And she had a point. However, that smaller piece was from the meaty and lean tail end of the fish. In a panic I gave the piece a thumbs up, and the clerk wrapped it up for me. This was my one great regret. Not just of this shopping trip, but of my whole vacation. I should have opted for a larger piece that was fat and juicy. That same helpful clerk did indeed find me a gorgeous hunk of lake whitefish that was delightfully fatty, and eating it made me smile with delight. Of course, different people can prefer different pieces of fish. Just like there are some chicken wing lovers who prefer the drummette and others who prefer the flat. If everyone liked the same thing, the world would be a pretty dull place. I guess what I'm saying is don't panic. Know in advance the cuts in the case are the cuts that are available for sale. Find the pieces that call you. If it ends up being a little more fish than you wanted, so be it. This stuff is so good you'll find a way to get it down without denigrating it to the freezer. For those who need crackers, like my wife and kid, there are sleeves for sale. As far as I'm concerned, those crackers are just taking up space in my belly that could be used for more fish. One last thing. Okay, maybe a few last things. Let's call it a lightning round: This isn't a restaurant. It's a takeaway smoked fish shop. It's small. It's busy. It's efficient. It's a regional treasure. Get there. Eat local smoked fish. Salmon isn't local to Minnesota. Get it fatty. Do not fear heads, or skin, or bones. The good stuff takes a little extra work, but it's worth it! You've got this. Now eat well.

We came specifically for the Friday night Fish Fry, which comes with one side, and they were out of two of them (our first and second choices, unfortunately). I ended up ordering Beer Battered Fish with Rice Pilaf, and the other two at the table ordered Deep Fried Fish with Waffle Fries. It was 8:17 before our order came out - a full 45 minutes after we arrived. The Rice Pilaf was barely warm and flavorless. I only ate one bite of it (1/10) but the fish was excellent (9/10). The fish portion was large - I could only eat half, and took the other half of the fish to go. I left the rice. I asked about dessert to go, and neither of the cheesecakes on the menu were available, but the server said they had some chocolate peanut butter cheesecake, which wasn't listed anywhere. I got that and had a few bites before putting it in the fridge - it was ok, but nothing special (5/10). I'm not sure I'll even finish it, and that's saying something because cheesecake is my favorite dessert. Ambiance was dark and kind of dingy. Things needed to be dusted and wiped down. It felt like there was a sticky layer of grease on them (chairs, columns, table edges, etc.). Would probably go back and give them another shot, but would likely try a weekday when it's not so busy and all menu items are available. Overall 6/10

We ate at Manypenny Bistro twice during our trip to Cornucopia/Bayfield recently. The first time I ordered the Vegetable pizza minus the tomatoes and had ranch instead of tomato sauce. It was absolutely heavenly...one of the best pizza's I've ever eaten. My fiancé had a cheeseburger with cheddar cheese and fries. Be said the burger was the best burger he'd had in ages. The second time we ate there I had the Lemon Garlic pasta minus the lemon and added shrimp. It was pretty good, although there was entirely too much pasta, lol. I think I had a pound of pasta on my plate. My fiancé had the Lake Trout and garlic mash with cauliflower & broccoli. He said it was all really good, but the trout was beyond phenomenal. The service both times was exceptional. We both agree it was well worth the money and would definitely eat there again!
