Russ Kendall's Smoke House is a charming little shop that offers an impressive selection of smoked fish. Their smoked sugar maple Walleye is a highlight, with a rich flavor and tender texture. The smoked salmon and trout are also standouts, with the trout praised for its moist and flavorful texture. The smoked fish is made with incredibly fresh ingredients, making each piece a treat. Customers appreciate that the staff is friendly and helpful, often sharing knowledge about smoking fish and the different flavors. Many have been buying from them for years and find the smoked fish always fresh and delicious. While the prices may be a bit higher than expected, the quality and taste of the fish make it well worth the cost. Visitors often mention the wonderful experience of enjoying the fish right there, sometimes standing in the parking lot to devour their purchase. With a wide range of smoked fish options to choose from, Russ Kendall's Smoke House is a must-visit destination for any fish lover.
Highly recommended. Always try to stop when I'm visiting the area. The smoked Lake Troat and Walleye are some of my favorites.

Every time we have stopped by the fish is always excellent! I had never seen smoked walleye there before so we tried that this time and would definitely do that again!
