Best place to dine in Grand Marais, MN. Try Fresh Fish - Fish and Chips Wallaye, White fish, Fish Taco. The food is delicious and we enjoyed it a lot, and we visit them every time we travelled to GM. Nice outside sitting, they do allow pets in the outdoor sitting.
The quintessential place for lake fare! I think it’s rare that the local celebrity food establishment ever exceeds expectations, but the Fisherman’s Daughter certainly does. With an exceptional fish deli loaded with locally caught lake food, fresh or smoked, to pair with the best fish baskets on Superior’s north shore, the Fisherman’s Daughter is the ultimate lake front culinary establishment. For their famous fish and chips, the fish was perfectly fried (lightly breaded and not heavy) and was served with crisp and fluffy fries and a perfectly tangy tartar sauce. My only regret is not coming here sooner. Unbeatable.
We stopped in here for supper. Order at the counter and they drop off the food. Great service, quick. Limited menu, but they have sandwiches and stuff for picky eaters if needed! The fish tacos were SOOO good! Highly recommend. We will stop again if we make it back up to GM!
This was my second time eating here and it is definitely now a staple of northern Minnesota for me. I love that all of the fish is locally caught. Their fish and chips are really good. My boyfriend got their fish tacos which were also delicious. The last time we ate here we also tried their crab fries, it really surprised me how fresh they were. It's so relaxing eating on the balcony and enjoying the weather and cool breeze.
We had 2 great experiences here last weekend celebrating our anniversary, it was our first time trying FD. We drove up Thursday and came straight here for an early dinner. We sat outside at the picnic tables and had a great view of the harbor. Everything was fresh and tasty. We got fried cheese curds, shrimp, and white fish with fries on our first visit, then came back Saturday to try the crab fries and walleye. We ESPECIALLY loved the fries, they were easily the best we ever had! We took a few deli items back to our room Thursday and enjoyed a picnic on our balcony Friday. We got the smoked salmon chowder, which was 10/10, I could have easily eaten a quart! Also had the pickled herring and the shrimp cocktail which was top quality and fresh. Be prepared to spend at least 50-75 as a couple esp if you splurge on any of the deli items. Can't wait to come back, this will be a must-stop for all future visits.
These were the best fish n chips I've ever had in my life. I'm not joking. And I've had a lot of fish n chips. The fish was cooked to perfection, as were the fries. Excellent service, very cute joint with a great atmosphere. We picked up some smoked salmon on our way out, it was absolutely excellent. My only complaint is they're hundreds of miles away from my home!
This was a really cool place. We didn't have any luck finding fresh on the north shore until we got up to Grand Marais. The fish was fantastic.
First off, this place has a fantastic location. We had our dogs with us so we couldn't sit on the patio overlooking the water, but I bet it's very nice! We did sit on their front patio with the dogs. You order at the counter and they bring your food out to you. We got a cup of Salmon Chowder and it was surprisingly good! I would definitely order it again. We also shared a walleye basket and it was good, but not great - we'll likely try a different type of fish next time.
