Mild January weather continues
Whitefish dinner at Sydney's Restautant
It’s been another quiet week around here. We’re still in the midst of the “January Thaw” but it looks to be ending by early next week. We had some really beautiful weather last weekend with the temperature in the mid-30s and sunny skies. It did snow a few inches during the week but nothing too significant. Munising Bay is seeing more and more ice shacks on the big lake. The ice fishing seems to be pretty good with folks catching some really nice whitefish. (Please use caution when venturing out there.)
If you haven’t had whitefish, you’re missing out! One of my favorites! Many restaurants around the Upper Peninsula have it on their menu. From sandwiches to fillets and even chowder, it can be cooked a variety of ways. If you’ve seen the movie “Forrest Gump”, it’s similar to when Bubba is telling Forrest the number of ways shrimp can be cooked. Just kidding! I prefer my whitefish fillet broiled with lemon-pepper or cajun seasoning. So the next time you’re in the area, visit one of our Munising restaurants for a great whitefish meal. If you have a favorite whitefish recipe, tell us about it.
Speaking of fishing, the 26th annual Munising Moose Lodge Fishing Derby is happening on Saturday, February 13th. The event takes place at Au Train Lake and the best part; it’s on Michigan’s Free Fishing Weekend! No fishing licensed required to participate (must still follow regulations, though). Visit our virtual bulletin board to read the event’s flyer.
