How to Experience a Door County Fish Boil

"Fish boils here deviate from tradition (cod and a mix of onions, carrots, and potatoes, boiled separately from the cod, are used) and are offered year-round. From June to October, there are two fish boil seatings a night Saturdays through Tuesdays and on Thursdays. In May, fish boils are three days a week with one seating, and after peak season the fish boils are on Saturdays only. The New Year’s Eve bash even includes a fish boil. The Door County Mojito here features (of course) cherry juice. Local bands play live music on weekends, and Beach Harbor Resort offers boat rentals on the bay. Waterfront Mary’s is next to Potawatomi State Park, a 1,200-acre park of rolling hills and cliffs." - Sharon McDonnell
