Gourmet deli with signature Corleone & salmon melt sandwiches
"Fishermen’s is a great choice if your boat (or your friend’s boat, or your GetMyBoat rental) is docked at Salmon Bay, but it’s also a good pick in general because their sandwiches are straight-up delicious. Our favorite is the Corleone, which is like an Italian sub that minored in French during college. It has ham, salami, capicola, smoked gouda, cherry peppers, and dijonaise on a baguette, and there’s a perfect balance of smoke, tang, and heat." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"Sometimes it hurts to swing by this dockside sandwich legend and not order the salmon melt, but seeing as the Corleone also exists, we’ll allow it. This beast is a hot baguette filled with ham, capicola, gooey smoked gouda, chopped cherry peppers, and dijon mayo—almost like an italian sub that studied a semester in the Netherlands. It’s perfect if you’re in the mood for something traditional with a little twist to bring on a boat, or to eat while looking at boats." - aimee rizzo
"But if you’d rather have a sandwich while spending time at Salmon Bay, we’re huge fans of The Corleone from Fishermen’s Deli. This beautiful thing is kind of like what would happen if an Italian sub watched the hit 1999 Mary Kate and Ashley film Passport To Paris—there’s ham, salami, capicola, chopped cherry peppers, smoked gouda, and dijonaise on a baguette. That and a big bag of potato chips on the dock would be a flawless lunch." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"Fishermen’s is a deli right on the Salmon Bay Marina, and they make all kinds of excellent sandwiches. It might seem refreshing to order a cold pastrami or chicken havarti (both great choices), but the Corleone is best. It’s a toasty baguette filled with Italian meats, cheeses, and a pickled pepper mayo. Don’t forget a sack of potato chips or some soda on the side." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"Fishermen’s is a deli right on the Salmon Bay Marina where you can look at yachts while inhaling a sandwich. Stick to the ones they smash on a panini press, like the Corleone, with a bunch of cold cuts and melty smoked gouda. Or, do your boat-watching with the king salmon melt—a glorious hot sandwich that involves flaky mashed pink fish between slices of wheat bread with cheddar, dijonnaise, and pickles. The sauce, salmon, and pickle juices combine to make a creamy salad-like spread, and the entire thing is one of the very few examples where seafood and cheese can not only work together but thrive together." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
