Calumet Fisheries - Chicago

The best smoked fish joint I?ve ever been to. We had their smoked salmon and fried shrimp. Both were top notch. But the smoked salmon definitely was the highlight. It was very well done, with each bite just as flavorful as the last one. This is one ofthose few places that one must visit if in town. This is a cash only place. There is an ATM inside however.

Had to travel a bit from the city to get here but it was worth it. I got smoked salmon and smoked trout and it was super tasty. There was no seating inside but there is parking so you can eat inside your car. Be sure to bring cash because they don't acceptcard but if you forget, they do have an ATM inside. Would definitely come again!

Tasty smoked shrimp and fish, great fried seafood too. Crab cakes were beyond plentiful! Cash only. Great service. Carry out and dine out.

Calumet Fisheries is truly a hidden gem of Chicago hidden because it is a small establishment you can't dine in) nestled on the far, far south side of Chicago. A gem because the food is fantastic. The smoked fish is delicious and any item I have ordered off the menu has always been satisfying (the catfish dinner is pictured here). The place is cash only but there is an ATM available if need be. Tradition holds that on a nice, sunny day you park your car on the street, order your food, and then sit in the car with your family and eat while enjoying each other's company.
