Where Are the Fish Boils in Door County?
Fish Boils are a longstanding tradition in Door County supper clubs. You really can’t go wrong with any of them, so here is a roundup of the restaurants that are hosting fish boils. For more information about what a fish boil is — and mind you this is not to be confused with another great Wisconsin tradition, the Friday Night Fish Fry — go to the Mad Traveler blog post which features some fiery photos and the story of how one works.

We are coming at the end of Oct, 2016. Where would we be able to attend a Fish Boil at that time?
White Gull might be your best bet, but I’d also check Viking. Whatever the case, be sure to phone first and make a reservation to be safe.
