Excellent experience always
No bathrooms or garbages to use. Strange. If you like smoked fish, this is your place
Fish is always amazing and the staff always helpful and ready to answer any questions.
Their smoked fish is always so fresh and delicious. Only problem is the 3.5 hour drive to get it. Been buying from them for many years and never disappointed. Yum.
Whatchu know bout some Russ Kendall's Smokehouse on dat ass?
Always great smoked fish. And they have a Great Grey Owl that is hanging out this winter.
Staff is friendly and the smoked salmon and salmon spread are the best I've ever had. I make it a point to drive up the shore to Kendalls whenever I'm in the area visiting from Las Vegas. It won't disappoint I assure you.
Authentic smoked fish with lots of options!
This is a destination worthy trip. Enjoy life.
Best smoked fish on the North shore.

Always worth the stop
The product is good. However, we have been there a few times over the years, and the staff has not been very engaging or friendly.
Not what it used to be. Called late November to order salmon and Kristi/Christy was snarky, rude, and sarcastic when I asked questions while placing my order. They only ship on Mondays so I requested that our order be shipped Dec 16. They were supposed to call with our $ total when charging our card but never did.
Order was on our doorstep almost 2 weeks early on Dec 5 and we were out of town when it was delivered. A relative stopped by to pick something up in the evening and brought it inside, but we didn’t get home til the following day. Fortunately, the fish was still frozen.
We orders 6 lbs. we couldn’t have been more disappointed. Nothing like it used to be. Pungent, bony, and NOTHING like it was a few years ago. Just gross.
Terrible, nasty customer service and $150 for a lot of really bad fish. We will never return.
A charming little store with wonderfully helpful owners who answered all our questions and taught us all about smoking fish and the different flavors. Loved the fish. We actually stood in the parking lot and devoured one of the fish we bought. A fun experience for sure.
Stopped in here a few times over the years, some of the best smoked fish I've ever had, have a pretty good selection of cheese and sauces as well.
