Calumet Fisheries, situated in Chicago, IL, stands out as one of the few remaining smokehouses in Illinois. Renowned for smoking seafood on-site, this establishment prides itself on using natural wood for smoking, eschewing artificial additives. The traditional method involves marinating the fish in brine overnight and carefully tending to it for hours to enhance its natural flavors.
Unlike most fisheries that resort to artificial flavorings and industrial substitutes, Calumet Fisheries uses a meticulous process that involves special oak logs to stoke the fire. This meticulous attention to detail ensures that the seafood retains its authentic, mouthwatering taste. The dedication to preserving this disappearing art of smoking fish sets Calumet Fisheries apart in the culinary landscape.

Super fun. Super tasty quirky roadside fish shack. Hunk of smoked fish? This is THE place. Lauded. Awarded. Storied. For reasons. It's not magic but it is great.
