Our Top Pick
Calumet Fisheries
One of the city’s defining wood-smoked seafood counters.
Essential Picks
9.1
A wood-smoke shack by the Calumet bridge that treats smoked seafood like the main event, not a side note. The move is to mix one smoked pick (shrimp or salmon) with a fried dinner so you get both the smokehouse depth and the just-dropped crunch in one haul.
Must-Try Dishes:
Smoked shrimp, Pepper & garlic smoked salmon, Fried catfish dinner
What Makes it Special: One of the city’s defining wood-smoked seafood counters.
