Nestled along the North Shore, Russ Kendall's Smoke House delivers a menu that celebrates the essence of traditional smoked fish with an unmatched depth of flavor. The star of the show is undoubtedly the Smoked Whitefish, a local favorite that boasts a perfectly balanced smoky richness, flaking effortlessly with every bite. Equally enticing, the Smoked Lake Trout brings a buttery texture that melts in your mouth, its deep, wood-kissed aroma elevating the entire experience.
For those craving a touch of indulgence, the Smoked Salmon is a must-try, its silky texture infused with just the right amount of smoke to enhance its natural sweetness. A true highlight, the Candied Salmon offers a delightful contrast—sweet, smoky, and irresistibly tender, making it a top pick for those who appreciate a little complexity in their seafood.
Beyond fish, the menu extends to the equally impressive Smoked Herring, which delivers a bolder, saltier punch, perfect for those who enjoy an intense umami kick. The Smoked Cisco, another regional specialty, presents a delicate, mildly smoky profile that pairs beautifully with crackers and a touch of mustard.
To round out the experience, Russ Kendall's Smoke House also serves a selection of simple yet satisfying accompaniments. Freshly baked bread, locally made cheese, and crisp crackers complement the bold smokiness of the seafood, creating a well-rounded feast that keeps patrons coming back for more.
