It is one of the few southside one-two punches I've done and I can attest to how fantastic it is.-Mary

Post #62 - July 18th, 2015, 4:12 pmI'm planning to ride my bike to Calumet Fisheries. I was looking through the posts to see if there was any info on tables or other places to eat other than your car, and was happy to see Rene G posted last year that they set up picnic tables. Does anyone know if these are still set up? Thank you.

I can confirm that based on extensive first hand research.

Post #67 - July 18th, 2015, 10:31 pmSince bacon topped donuts seem to be the rage, I don't see why they can't do the same thing with smoked fish...

Last I saw, they were there. However, we normally take the fish straight east to Calumet Park and eat on the lake. Just watch out for gulls.
As for the OFD/CF one-two punch, I can confirm it's a winner. Better yet, make it a triple and finish at Loncar's."We eat slowly and with gusto." - Paul Bäumer in AQOTWF

Ditto on Calumet Park. Nice spot to relax with your fishes (and, hopefully, donuts/fritters).

Yep, the benches were still outside of their shack looking over the river, as of when I went there earlier this summer. Usually I take my food to go home or to Calumet Park, though.

Post #72 - September 22nd, 2015, 5:55 pmMy friends and i like to bring our own table and chairs. We go closer to closing time and set up shop with a cooler full of beers and pops. Its fun to order a feast for everyone to share. The employees love to be done with the day and see us out there on 95th partying on the smoked shrimps until 12am. They always decline a free beer...
But for real, i will always love going here. One of my favorites. GOAT#SOUTHSIDESLITHER

I second Calumet Park, close enough trip so the breading isn't affected and a nice setting. Although I've had my fair share of eats while standing on the bridge.dumpstermcnuggets wrote: Usually I take my food to go home or to Calumet Park, though.I did absolutely nothing and it was everything I thought it could be.

Post #80 - January 6th, 2016, 12:36 pmRE: Smoked Eel
As I was looking for smoked eel, I did call Calumet Fisheries and learned that they only make it during Christmas and New Years. A very short window and already too late on Jan 6.
However, I did call Hagen's (5635 W. Montrose Ave., 773-283-1944) (yes, will smoke eel to order, 1 ea min order, 2-3 days, weighs ¾ to 1 lb, he sells for 16.- a lb.
Just in case this is helpful to someone else who has a yen for smoked eel.

The smoked shrimp and fried scallops are my favorite things there.
