Everything was so delicious- parm white fish was excellent and the risotto was even better. Heavy recommendation.

Very good dips, whitefish and salmon. Staff came from the back to immediately serve us. Credit card charge of 3.5%. The prices did go up quite a bit but it's been years since I have been there so inflation increases. Small entrance with fish counter and display. read more

We try and stop here every trip to the UP - smoked whitefish!! The addition of the stand with fresh fish fry items makes the stop even better. Eat a hot fish basket there, and get some smoked whitefish to go - perfect! read more

I don't know how the owner gets the Singapore chili flavor so perfectly, but it instantly takes me back to Malaysia. The sauce is rich, slightly sweet, and has just the right amount of heat. I always get the baked whitefish with risotto, and it's the best whitefish in town: fresh, flaky, and full of flavor. Service is by number, but it usually moves really fast, and the summer ambiance makes it even better with open windows, a fresh breeze drifting in, and the scent of the grill in the air. Their quality has been consistently delicious throughout the years. This dish has become a monthly summer treat for me, especially after a productive week. It's comforting, special, and always excellent. read more

Peterson's Fish Market - Fish & Chips Near Me - Hancock, Michigan

Being a Wisconsinite, and ready for some fried fish any day of the week, I was on this place!! I always order the local fair, and white fish was on the docket. The fish had a very light breading, and that is how I like it!!! Fries were absolutely delicious!! This place is great example of how to fry the local Lake Superior fare. The service is very rudimentary, and basically fast food like. I'm not mad about that!! This is not fine dining, it is dining fine. First time eating white fish, I will say it is dense, yet moist. I would definitely return and order the white fish again. A great institution of the U.P. and bring a cooler!! They have fresh and smoked fish next door. Eat some now, eat some later. I call that a win-win. read more

I don't even like fish that much, and I'd say this place is purdy fire. My wife was super hyped to try this place, so we went, and man, 10:10. We muffed up and got there like 10-15 mins before they closed. They were super chill about it, I hate being those ppl tho. I've worked restaurants, I know the workers hate it when dummies show up 10 mins before the doors close. I greatly appreciate that they were so accommodating. I got a fish sammich, it was fish tastic. My wife got some sort of baked fish dinner, I dunno, sorry, I wasn't paying attention to her stuff cuz I was in fish sammy heaven. Next day we went back, she got smoked fish. I don't partake in that, but she said the smoked fish is the best she's had in all of Michigan. She's had a LOT of smoked fish in Michigan, so I'd trust her opinion if I were you. Yes, you. Cheesy risotto was low key the extremely over talented back up singer of the show. I saw it on the menu, was extremely confused by it being there, and was thoroughly rewarded for getting it. Eat the fish, look at the mine. Get ur yooper vibes in. read more

The best place ever to buy Fresh Fish!!!! We eat only Peterson's fresh caught Lake Superior fish! Always the best, never fishy tasting. Won't buy any fish but Peterson's and their fresh smoked fish is awesome also. We bring our cooler and go home with enough to last us until our next trip up there......a 2+ hour drive one way. It is so worth the delicious healthy meals we eat! read more

Like this place needs me to tell you it's great. Of course I mean the lightly fried whitefish (or baked) with fries or the excellent but oddly named Coleslaw risotto. The setting is eclectic, it's above Hancock, but if it's in season it's worth it. You can BYOB (or I have and no one said no.) read more

My favorite seafood ive had that didnt cost $60. For $27 i got the singapore baked fish with risotto, small chowder, and a drink. Was one of the most satisfying meals ive had in a long time. Everything made in house with chef like touches. Absolutely fire. read more

Really really good fish and chips. They were set up great for covid, with one door for entry and one for exit. They have a huge yard for eating outside. The fried whitefish was perfectly cooked, and the fries were delicious as well. I couldn't finish the whole thing, and ended up eating some cold fish leftovers two days later - it was still delicious even after sitting in a fridge for 2 days! read more

We ate at this place the day before Independence day. It was very busy. The owner was working and got us in quickly. The service was efficient. The food was good, not great. But represented good value for the money. I'd eat there again. I am going to give this 5 stars for overall experience, and being able to take care of us in adverse circumstances. If had been a regular day, I would probably give 4 stars for the food. read more

Great smoked fish. Great service. I would definitely recommend. The fish and chips is very good as well.

Our whole family loves Four Suns, and are happy that they opened this week. I had the parmesan crusted baked white fish; my son had the singapore chili baked white fish with rissotto. Both were excellent. I usually call in my order ahead of time, and have no wait time when I get there! This last part works great when I bring my grandson, who usually asks for chicken tenders and fries- but he does like fried fish too. On a nice sunny day you can sit outside. No reservations required! read more

Great place to quench your craving for fish very fresh and reasonable prices owners are great too

The restaurant is technically called "Four Suns." It sits just back from Peterson's Fish Market. I love whitefish, and I love fried fish and I have never had better than at Four Suns. Even in England! Everything is cooked fresh and is served super crispy. The fries are great, too. It may not be the most healthy way to eat fish, but ya gotta live a little once in a while. I have friends near there now and I am craving more fish. I'm sure they'll thank me for the recommendation and rave about the food. read more

Just ate here for the first time and it was absolutely delicious! There was a mixup w my order and they remade the order no problem. Really incredible fish and chips and loved the outdoor seating area-- great to bring a pup!! This is a lovely establishment w amazing service. And I cannot wait to return on my next trip to Houghton! read more

Wonderful fish tacos! The smoked salmon and whitefish in the shop was the very best! Definitely wonderful fish!

Always good. I like the fried whitefish. You have to be sure if you want that, you get there a little earlier because they can run out. Because of covid, you can only take out although they do have a couple of picnic tables outside. read more

I love Petersons fish market. They make some of the bets smoked whitefish in the UP where it has the perfect level of smoked flavor without being too greasy. The whitefish basket or sandwich I are my favorite but the tostada is also amazing. The view of the portage is also unmatched in how beautiful it is. It's truly a special experience to go here. read more

This is a great place for fish baskets, the food part called 4 sons is really good on their product Fresh local not a long wait. Went twice before commenting the lobby is clean for being run out of a trailer/diner limited seating but great for to go food near Atlantic mine and portage hospital. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Cost, for two or three about $35-$45. read more

I followed my fellow Yelper's advise for lunch and found this local hotspot. If you are looking for fine dining this is not it. But if you are looking for great fish that is fresh and tastes wonderful this is the right place! I ordered the Whitefish Tostada and Whitefish Taco. He tostada was very fresh and tasted great. The Taco was enormous and together they met my lunch needs. I will definitely return to Peterson's Fish Market. Maybe even tomorrow. Trust. read more

Really great fried fish. Took a friend from Pennsylvania who really enjoyed it. Check it out!

Very good and fresh fish n' chips joint. Both my husband and I had the basic fried whitefish and fries, with coleslaw.

I was extremely disappointed with the lunch we had at this restaurant. First thing that surprised me was the price of the menu items, ended up paying 36.00 for lunch I ordered the baked white fish basket, It came with one very small fillet that was quite fishy tasting. We couldn't get fries since the fryer was not working and had a baked potato instead. The coleslaw was ok but otherwise nothing special. Don't think we'll ever be going back. The fish market was a disappointment also, EXTREMELY strong fish smell, display items not appealing....didn't purchase anything. read more

We were staying in Houghton a couple of weeks ago and asked some locals were the best fresh Lake Superior whitefish dinner. Everyone we asked recommend Peterson's Fish Market. Petersons has a market in a building out front that sells smoked fish. We bought 1 lb of smoked whitefish and 1 lb of smoked lake trout. It was incredibly delicious. Then we went out back to the restaurant called 4 Suns Fish and chips. We ordered the fried whitefish dinner and it was excellent. Very fresh and so delicious. If you ever find yourself in this beautiful part of the world I highly recommend Peterson's Fish Market and 4 Sun's Fish & Chips. read more

Great location right next to the Quincy Mine. The fish is excellent. Uses more or a cornbread crust, which gives the whitefish a fantastic crunch and extra bit of flavor. Fish Tacos, using the same crunchy, delicious whitefish, were superb. Only suggestion I'd make is adding some dill to the tartar sauce. Otherwise, excellent fish n chips! read more

Great spot! Just passing thru but definitely noticed that a lot of local people had ordered pickup as we waited, always a good sign! Not disappointed, fantastic food and a great atmosphere. It would be wonderful to visit again after all this covid stuff is figured out, it just seems like a nice place to enjoy good food outside with good people read more

I was supposed to leave town and stayed an extra day just to have some local fish. I used to live in the area and couldn't imagine leaving without enjoying some fresh caught whitefish. Peterson's made it worth it. In the event that you are looking for fish look no further, what an awesome experience. Super casual, order at the window byob style. I effing love it! They crank out the food and they have a system that seems to just flow. I very much enjoyed the chowder; it's perfectly seasoned with a nice smokey flavor. Don't be intimidated, it's really really good. I also ordered the Whitefish just the meat Singapore style and I ate every last bit. A nice spice, really fresh and juicy fish... it was really a treat. Though I had hesitation when ordering a taco in Northern Michigan (I had the you should know better talk in my head) I went through with it because the gal working said it was her fave and she said it in absolute confidence. She didn't mis-lead me. Arguably the best fish taco I have ever had outside of Oahu. The crust had such a great crunch and the fish was tender and moist, with fresh cabbage... ahh man was it tasty. My one complaint is the plastic cutlery. First of all plastic cutlery in general just sucks, but secondly, really? In a place (I'm talkin' the area, not the establishment) where you STILL CAN'T RECYCLE why are we using these things, it's just creates so much unnecessary waste. Truth is, if I didn't have a flight to catch in Detroit I'd probably stay another day and do it all over. Don't fish through the mediocre restaurants (no pun intended) looking for fresh fish you have found it. Go today so that you'll be able to go tomorrow too. Also, it's a super casual layed back environment, your gonna love it! read more

Fantastic. Best fish in town... and possibly the UP! Quick service. COVID friendly - lots of out door seating and precautions. Chowder was perfect. Fish is flaky and plump. Please don't miss this spot read more

We've driven by this place many times over the last few years and haven't stopped because we were in a hurry or not hungry. What a mistake. You HAVE TO go here!!!! We had a white fish basket with fries and slaw and a white fish sandwich with fries. Both were excellent. The whitefish was the perfect size, not too big or too small and also wasn't fishy tasting like a lot of whitefish. The batter is light, crispy and more like a cornbread batter. The fries are not fresh cut but they're still crispy and delicious. The tartar sauce is homemade and pretty good. They serve the whitefish basket with 6 or 7 pieces of fish, a big side of tartar so you don't have to ask for more, 2 lemon slices and a big side of homemade coleslaw which was also really good. All of the tables have malt vinegar on them to accompany your fish and fries. The fish tacos looked excellent but we didn't get those this time around. You order your own food from one window and pick it up at another window. There are probably 12 tables inside with additional seating outside. They also have a smokehouse attached which smelled amazing and I hear is fantastic. If you're looking to get some top notch whitefish while in da U.P. you need to get it here. You won't be disappointed. We already can't wait to go back. read more
