White Gull Inn Fish Boil

The kerosene hits the fire and the pot erupts — fish oils sheeting over the rim, flame shooting up, the crowd stepping back. That's the finish of a Door County fish boil, and White Gull Inn in Fish Creek does it year-round, outdoors in their courtyard. The tradition traces to Scandinavian immigrants who fed lumberjacks and fishermen this way — whitefish, red potatoes, salt, a cast-iron kettle. Reservations required.
