AN AUTHENTC DOOR COUNTY FISH BOIL Every evening beginning at 4:30 pm we specialize in serving the most famous native dish of the Door Peninsula, the feast that is known as the “Door County Fish Boil” is a tradition unique to the area. The settlers of past centuries came to this wilderness to seek their fortunes in the heavily timbered forests and bountiful waters of the Peninsula.

Out of their resourcefulness and spirit of cooperation the “Fish Boil” evolved, the fisherman and farmers provided sustenance for groups of hungry lumbermen and settlers. In preparing the meal, technology has found no way to improve upon the equipment and methods of centuries ago. The authenticity of our “Door County Fish Boil” is assured, as the techique has been preserved and passed down through generations from Matthew’s grandfather, to his father, and him.

Our “Door County Fish Boil” consists of fresh, locally caught whitefish cut into steaks, baby red potatoes and Texas sweet boiling onions. The ingredients are boiled to perfection outdoors in large stainless steel kettles over a wood fire. Salt is the only seasoning used, although it’s primary function is to increase the boiling temperature of the water. During the cooking process, the fish oils naturally rise to the surface of the water. Immediately before removing the fish, potatoes and onions from the kettle, the “Master Boiler” will throw #1 fuel oil directly into the fire beneath the kettle resulting in a tremendous burst of flames that force the water and fish oils to “Boil Over” the rim. This signals the end of the cooking process and the beginning of a wonderful dining experience.
