It can be quite
difficult to find a good deal in Mackinaw City. Krueger's Fish
Market is one of those rare instances. Located on the west side of
the highway, Krueger's is a small operation with a home-y Michigan
feel. The bear skin on the back wall reminds you that you are in the
north country while the simple, open interior allows you to see where
your fish is processed.
They have a nice
selection of fish from herring to the typical smoked salmon. They
are in coolers where you pick the filet or chunk that you want. The
pepper beef sticks are a good quality stick that are quite addictive.
I made sure to stock up with ice in my cooler the next day and
returned to buy some trout cheeks. You don't see many places that
offer fish cheeks yet they are like the Filet Mignon of the fish. I
was told that they don't always have cheeks available. It all
depends on when they have an influx of trout and some time to collect
them. Supposedly, it takes about one hundred trout to make a pound
of those medallion-sized morsels. If you like scallops, you will
enjoy the cheeks. Try something new and adventurous.
Overall, they are a
little family business with good products. Make them one of your
stops at the top of the mitten.
