Most delicious Fish n Chips ever, daily fresh catch from Lake Superior, Gitche Gumme.
In addition to the whitefish we were lucky to get some trout, a pink meat, richer taste. Lightly deep fried in a delicate peppercorn and lemon batter. They said they are considering going with Avocado oil in the future and also gluten free. The owner friendly and also make the best coleslaw.
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!
Stopped there after a 19km hike at Pictured Rock, and boyyy the fish really hit the spot 😋 i shared half a pound with my boyfriend and it was enough! Would go back if i'm ever in the area
We stopped by The Fish Basket on our way back from Pictured Rocks and were pleasantly surprised. The owner was so friendly and we really enjoyed talking to him as we waited for our order. He made us a batch of fish and fries which tasted very fresh and was perfectly seasoned with their special seasoning. We left extremely happy that we got to experience the food and discover this hidden gem!
We stopped by this place after visiting Pictured Rocks. This was our first time trying white fish and it was freshly caught! The fish was fried to a perfect extent and the seasoning was very flavorful. We also love the hand cut fries and coleslaw.
Plus, the owner was super friendly! We felt welcomed.
Parking: plenty of street parking spots available
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.
No batter: just the fish pieces tossed in some cornmeal, fried, with a little lemon pepper. Because it’s cornmeal—it’s gluten free and lets the whitefish shine without oily heavy batter getting in the way. It’s perfect and unbelievable.
Fries: perfection. Coleslaw: delicious. Fish tacos: basically the amazing fried whitefish with the coleslaw in a tortilla = fantastic.
The folks running the place are super friendly and deserve your business! You won’t regret it!
