We are a small, family-owned & operated business in the best place on earth-- the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We are located in Hancock, MI on US-41. We opened our doors 24 years ago in 1992 & have been expanding ever since. The owners, Patricia & Gilmore Peterson, are members of the Red Cliff Band of Superior Chippewas out of Wisconsin, and 4th generation commercial fisherman. We sell fresh fish & smoked fish to the general public, sell fish at wholesale prices & quantities to restaurants all over the United States, and operate a take-out style restaurant in the summer that we sell our award-winning fish fry baskets out of. We can ship our fresh or smoked lake superior fish to anywhere in the United States (tip: this makes a great present!)  

​

We own & operate 2 commercial fishing boats: the Three Sons and the Ritter Brothers. These boats are operated by 5th generation fisherman, Patricia & Gilmore's sons. When we opened in 1992, we fished off of a small boat called the "Gary." In 1987, we purchased & named a 52 foot fishing boat the "Three Sons," after Pat & Gil's three sons: Chris, Joel, and Matt. A few years ago we purchased a 47 foot boat called the "Ritter Brothers." All of the fish sold from our store comes right out of Lake Superior on to these boats. You can be sure that you are getting the freshest fish around!
