Most delicious Fish n Chips ever, daily fresh catch from Lake Superior, Gitche Gumme.

Stopped here for my first experience of whitefish. I thought it was fantastic. My cousin (a local Michigander and self-proclaimed whitefish afficiando) thought it was ok. Owner and the two ladies were very nice. Owner had his 16 yr old pooch and told us about his friend that was in Grand Funk Railroad! Its set up in a parking lot. Weather was glorious although quite windy. Slaw was tasty but very small serving.

The fish is great, I mean really great, and in pieces not a fillet. It’s breaded in cornmeal instead of a wet batter, really tasty. Staff couldn’t be nicer. Sole reason it’s not 5 stars is that the fries/chips just fall short, it’s like they were just barely dropped in oil, which given how crispy the fish is doesn’t make sense, maybe it’s a local thing.

My favorite fried white fish around. They fry with cornmeal which makes it so yummy. Very reasonable price $15 for 1/4 pound of fish and fries. Staff very kind. Cash only!

BEST fish and chips we had in the area!! Everything is fresh and made from scratch. We happened to be ordering when a fresh fish delivery was being made and when fresh bags of potatoes were being brought in for the fries. Liked that fish and fries weren’t greasy. The homemade coleslaw was delicious too! Located right downtown and there is ample, comfortable seating! Ate there 2x and if we were in the area longer would have gone again. We also had the fish taco which was delicious too!

The owner was extremely generous, personable, and down to earth. Outdoor seating only, but it was shaded, and the food?? All I can is that, it’s one of the best places to eat fish and chips in the UP! Will definitely be visiting again! Give this place a try if you like fish and chips. You won’t regret it

This was the best damn fresh-caught fried whitefish I’ve had in my entire life. This little stand should have people flocking from miles around to enjoy.

Stopped here for a quick lunch & met the owner, Sam, who was endlessly kind and even let us pet his adorable dog. Had Gluten Free fried fish (they use corn meal instead of flour) and fries- both amazing! Hugely appreciated since I have a gluten allergy and it’s always so hard to find safe options in the UP. Adorable signs & paintings too 🙂 Will definitely be back!

Really fun little tent with outdoor table seating. The fried whitefish was amazing and the staff was really friendly. We will definitely visit again.

I like the fact that the owner makes the food fresh. There is longer normally a 15-20min wait for your food to be ready and sometimes longer if there are alot of people. The location is not easy to find without google maps as it’s on the side behind another building…. essentially the alley. Outdoor seating is available but limited to a first come first serve basis. Most people get the food to go and head to a nearby park to eat. As for the food, I was a little disappointed that the fish was dry, it could have just been my portion. The fries were good. Order the 1/4 lbs, it’s plenty of fish.
