A goof strategy would be to go to the Soo, watch the freighters in the locks, spend the night, get in line at Brown’s before noon.

My mother grew up in the UP about a mile from Whitefish Point. My grandfather had a fishery for many years which has now transformed into the best fresh fish/smoked fish restaurant in Michigan. A little plug for my cousin at Brown Fisheries. We have a place about 3 miles from the point on the bayside off the road named after my grandfather. I’ll be UP there in a few weeks.

Cool! I have heard of Brown’s. Paradise, turn off to Taquanamon Falls. A guy I used to work with said it was fantastic Whitefish.
You have to have it and don’t forget to grab some smoked fish on the way out. I say it’s the best fried whitefish anywhere, and even though I’m biased they get a top rating from all the travel and food sites.

Stopped at Brown’s 1:20 PM, out of fish!
A much earlier start next time, or drive to St. Iggy the night before.
Had a nice chunk of Whitefish in Grand Marais tonight.
Sorry about your luck. Unfortunately, they are limited at times by the size of the catch. I hope my buddy Justen who is also up there now (he asked me where Brown’s was located)didn’t have your same fate. I hope you still get a chance to try it.

Do it! I always go at noon so I’ll know they’ll have fish and the fish were swimming in Lake Superior a few hours prior. Interesting fact that my grandpa told me is that Lake Superior whitefish is a different species than Lake Huron whitefish. He said that the colder waters of Lake Superior made the fish better.
