from local producers. For example, over $115,000 was invested in products sourced from Cook County producers. The Angry Trout Cafe (408 West Highway 61, Grand Marais) is open seven days a week, May through October, serving lunch and dinner starting at 11 a.m. (closing times vary by month and are available at angrytroutcafe.com or by calling 218387-1265). They do not take reservations, but you are welcome to call 15 minutes before you plan to arrive and if there is a waiting list, they will add your name. Fish and chips is always on the menu. Right next door to the Angry Trout you will find Dockside Seafood Market, another local fish and chips staple. For many years, Dockside was part commercial fishing business and part fish market and restaurant. Harley and Shele Toftey, former Dockside owners, have passed on the reins and both parts of the business will continue. As mentioned above, Tyler and Zach Smith are continuing the commercial fishing operation and the community has welcomed the Frank family of Morey’s Seafood Markets as the new operators of the restaurant. Dockside lovers, do not fear. The Franks are continuing the menu and adding a few new retail products. The Dockside menu offers a mix and match style, providing a myriad of options and ways to cater your order. From basket or sandwich, fish choice, sides and upgrades, everyone finds their perfect mix. Fish and chips are a favorite choice, with Harley’s beer battered fries and fried fish. The fish options include varieties such as Superior herring, Norwegian cod, Supe-
rior whitefish, and Euro walleye. Be sure to look for the “Tyler’s Fresh Catch” sign for locally caught fish, such as herring and whitefish. Say yes to the tartar sauce; it is homemade and a different recipe than next door. Can’t decide between fries and coleslaw? You can add on to your order and have both. If you decide to go off the fish and chips path, consider upgrading to cheese curds. Yum! Dockside is not only a restaurant but also a retail store. They even sell “Dockside’s Secret Breading” and “Fish Fry Oil” if you’d like to make your own fish and chips at home. They also carry a large variety of fresh, frozen and other items, including Shele’s fishcake batter, smoked fish and pickled herring. “We have expanded the selection of gourmet grocery available, and are excited about introducing some new items to town,” said Elyse Frank Burton, VP of Operations for Seafood Markets, Ltd. and part of the new Dockside team. Dockside Seafood Market (418 West Highway 61, Grand Marais) is open seven days a week, Monday through Saturday 9 a.m.-6 p.m. and Sunday 9 a.m.-4 p.m. For more information, visit: facebook.com/ docksidefishmarket or call (218) 387-2906. This summer, I hope you enjoy a basket (or two) of fish and chips in the North Shore style, with a great view of Lake Superior on the harbor in Grand Marais. Cheers! The Angry Trout Cafe has a great view of the Grand Marais Harbor, with indoor seating and on the outdoor deck. | ANGRY TROUT
