Carlson's Fishery, located in the picturesque Fishtown of Leland, Michigan, has been a family-run operation since 1904. Founded by Norwegian immigrant Nels Carlson, the business has evolved over five generations, continuing the tradition of quality fishery practices in the scenic northwestern part of the state.

Today, the Carlson family remains dedicated to their legacy, co-owning and operating the fishery with a focus on freshly smoked whitefish and their famous jerky, which is crafted daily. The hand-crafted techniques and commitment to quality have made Carlson's a beloved staple of the local community and beyond.
