Smoked Fish

One of the delicacies we like when in the Great Lakes region is smoked fish. I am a fan of raw fish in Kauai and smoked fish in the Upper Peninsula. 

We drove to Petersons Fish Market and Cafe to see what they had. Turns out, we had also visited this market when we did our Circle Route trip to explore the Great Lakes in 2019. The 2019 visit was pretty memorable. A truck with a load of wood to be used in smoking fish was waiting for traffic to clear so it could turn into the Petersons facilities and it was rear-ended by a driver looking at her phone. There was wood scattered all over the highway and we watched the driver of the truck clean up the mess. No injuries to any party.

This visit was less eventful.  A chunk of smoked whitefish, a chunk of smoked lake trout, and some smoked fish cracker spread. The cafe was serving and we wanted some fish chowder to take home. The ambience was perfect so we stayed to have our chowder there. Great food.

P.S. If the chowder looks a little green, that is just the jalapeno glaze on top. You mix that in before consuming.
