Calumet Fisheries

The 38 Best Restaurants in Chicago | Eater Chicago

"One of two shacks for smoked seafood left in Chicago, Calumet Fisheries has inspired generations to visit the South Side for salmon, shrimp, and other delights. A throwback where customers order takeout and either eat at home or in their cars, this restaurant is a James Beard America’s Classic winner and recently reopened after a fire. Calumet Fisheries is an escape from urban life and a destination for tourists and locals alike. Vibe check: There’s no seating. Park along the Calumet River (perhaps bring your beverage of preference) and prepare to strap it in and enjoy while in your vehicle." - Ashok Selvam
