★★★★☆ 4.0 Jodi stoik · Aug 2025

Great little road side market. Only reason for 4 stars was the unfortunate off-putting fish smell. I know its a fish shop, but I've been to others that weren't half as bad. It was the end of day, opted for the frozen fish vs the fresh case only because of the smell. Got back the campground and fried the fish in cast iron. It was spectacular!

My goodness the fish here is good. I had the cod and my husband the whitefish. I personally prefer the breading on the cod better, but to each their own. The place is always the right amount of busy. The staff is fast and friendly. A must stop on your way through to copper harbor.

Nice market, when we were there they had a good selection of fresh and smoked fish. We picked up some smoked fish dip🐟. Not as good as smoked mullet in the keys but very tasty. We grabbed some crackers and this made a great dinner with some drinks on the beach at McClain State Park just down the road. Parking was plentiful and ready in and out for a large pickup🛻. A little tight for a class C or sport Freightliner. There is a road where we saw 2 class A RVs parked. There is also a restaurant on site so you can enjoy somebody else cooking and cleaning up. Adventure krewe tip: Give this review a like 👍 Get the fish dip, some wine and crackers and enjoy a beautiful evening watching a sun set and eating some smoked fish dip and enjoying a drink.

Amazing fresh whitefish, friendly staff and great smoked salmon! Have been buying fresh fish there for years! Four Suns behind the fish market is excellent too- if you want someone else to do the cooking. Heartily recommend Parmesan encrusted whitefish!

Best Fish Sandwich in the county, maybe even the western UP. Fried Whitefish is great. They got those light crispy fries. The Coleslaw is meh, not sweet nor tangy. It’s like vegetables in a cup hanging out. Tables to sit at inside and outside. Warming, there seems to only be a porta potty for a bathroom. I’m not holding it against them because the fish is awesome
