Smoked on the Water sits close to the Lake Express ferry terminal and does exactly what its name suggests: smoked whitefish, smoked salmon, and grilled lake perch, served in unpretentious portions with sides like coleslaw and baked beans. The setting is casual — picnic tables, paper plates — but the fish is genuinely good, sourced from Lake Michigan and prepared simply. Order at the counter and eat outside if the weather is right.
A reliable choice before or after the ferry crossing, or for a straightforward lunch after a morning at the Silversides or LST 393.
