LAKE SUPERIOR WHITEFISH Commercial fishing is a rich part of Bayfield's history. The waters in and around the Apostle Islands hold more spawning ground and habitat for fish than the rest of Lake Superior combined. From the early days of European settlement in the area fishing has been a way of life providing healthy protein year round for the people of this area and a key export from the area driving the local economy. Today, because of good science-based resource management, sustainable commercial fishing continues to be a part of Bayfield's future as well. During the summer months commercial fishing tugs (like the one shown above) bring in a sustainable harvest of whitefish, along with other species like brown trout and coho, from the waters around the Apostle Islands and the South Shore. Many of the fishermen in the area bring their daily catch to Bodin Fisheries on Bayfield's waterfront. A third generation fish processing plant, Bodin Fisheries, processes packages, and distributes the daily catch to restaurants and grocery stores through out the area. From the Big Lake to your plate in a day. That's about as fresh as food can get. From classic fish boil to fried whitefish tacos, many of the restaurants in Bayfield and the surrounding area offer fresh caught Lake Superior fish served just about any way you want. That includes a local delicacy: fried whitefish livers. And when it comes to livers it seems like people either love 'em or hate 'em, there's not a lot of middle ground. But wherever you stand, everyone agrees, it's pure Bayfield.
