Clients Testimonials

Smoked Whiteish Pate — Had this on toasted english muffins from another vendor. Crackers would be great with this. Good Super Bowl addition. Great Tasting!

MLC Indianapolis

Smoked Laker Bites — What a treat! Im from Michigan and moving to Indy made good fish like this difficult to find. I highly recommend trying this if you havent. This is a premier Michigan party in your mouth. Smoked just enough. Just fatty enough. Just right! Thanks for keeping the price in line.

M.K. Indianapolis

Whitefish Fillet — I cut this into chunks and made a soup with white miso and blood orange and it was great. It felt clean, not gunky, and lasted a few meals.

R.B. Indianapolis

Your Whitefish Pate’ is outstanding. I bought some today at the Ann Arbor Farmers Market . It was pure and fresh and I devoured it. Afterward I read the ingredients and saw why because there’s no crap in it. Thank you for a delicious product and I will return to sample your other wares!
