About The Fish Basket

The Fish Basket is a family-run fish shack offering fresh, made-to-order fish. The fried Whitefish is a highlight, with great fries and a gluten-free breading. The service is warm and cheerful, but note it's cash only. The restaurant has a local charm, and the owner, Sam, takes pride in his products, ensuring a delicious meal every time. The Fish Basket is now a mobile kitchen, parked outside the Midway General Store, a 15-minute drive from the old location. They offer 1/2 pound portions of fried white fish and homemade fries, enough for two. All of the fried fish is gluten-free, and Sam is accommodating to gluten allergies. The whitefish is expertly prepared, straight from Lake Superior, piping hot, salt & pepper to perfection, and fried right in front. There is indoor and outdoor seating near the General Store.

The fish were both cooked to perfection as were the fries. The coleslaw was also excellent! We visited with Sam while he cooked. Very interesting man and very friendly. Great local business who gets fresh fish every day. We’re from Montana but if we get back to Munising we will definitely...read full review
