We visited at the recommendation of my husband's co-workers. It was well worth the short, scenic trip to Blair. The interior is dimly lit in the evening, and it's a small, but comfortable place. You have the choice of wooden booths or tables. There were no steps, so it's accessible. The fish is carp, walleye and catfish. We tried the carp and the walleye. They were tender and not greasy. The coleslaw was lightly creamy, really good. My husband had the dinner, which included curly fries. He said they were better than most. I was fine with just the fish and a side of coleslaw. The portions are 8 ounces (half pound the menu says) of fish, but they sure seem like a lot more. Plastic forks. Malt vinegar at each table. The server checked on us regularly and kept our beverages refilled. Only cash and checks are accepted. We enjoyed it, and we look forward to our next visit.

Amazing food at great prices!!! If you love walleye or catfish you’ll love eating here. It’s what I would a hole in the wall place and I mean no disrespect with it but if you’re looking for a modern place or something upscale this isn’t it. It is however great food with super friendly staff and good prices

The Walleye dinner was the best and was enough for 2 people. Great Cole slaw and fries too. My compliments to the chef!

Great fish, generous portions for the cost. On the spot staff, even when busy. Just off the main drive, but oh, so worth it!
