What to cook

Caught fresh and cooked the same day. Recipes shift with the season and what's running, so there's always something new to try.

Grilled Fish

Best cooked over fire or on the grill
  • Grilled trout with wild herbs$9

    Whole trout, split and pinned open, brushed with herb butter and grilled over hot coals until the skin crisps and the flesh turns tender and flakes from the bone.

  • Honey granola bowl$8

    Smoked fish with roasted root vegetables, pickled onions and a cool herb cream to cut through the richness of the smoke.

  • Warm cinnamon oats$7

    Pan-seared whitefish with brown butter, capers, crispy sage and a squeeze of lemon to brighten the delicate, flaky flesh.

  • Cedar plank salmon$10

    Salmon fillet laid skin-side down on a soaked cedar plank, topped with thin lemon slices, fresh dill and a knob of butter, then roasted until the wood smokes and the fish is just cooked through.

  • The catch of the day$13

    Whatever came in fresh that morning, prepared your way—grilled whole, filleted and pan-seared, or smoked low and slow over applewood until it pulls apart with a fork.

Sides & accompaniments

Stock up while supplies last
  • Trout with herb butter$4

    Whole fish brined and cold-smoked over applewood for three days, flaking into tender, delicate layers.

  • Smoked salmon fillet$5

    Hot-smoked trout fillets, still warm from the smokehouse — pull apart the silky flesh with a fork.

  • Grilled perch with almonds$5

  • Grilled mackerel$5

    Whole mackerel split and grilled over oak coals, skin crisped and flesh just cooked through.

  • Fresh catch of the day$6

    Whatever landed this morning — grilled whole over the fire, seasoned simply with salt and lemon.

  • Smoked salmon sides$7

    Filleted from whole fish, slow-smoked and ready to slice. Vacuum-packed to take home.
