Fish Boil

When Don asked friends about what to do in Door County, one of the first items mentioned was a fish boil.  We did not know what it was, exactly, but Don did his research and made reservations at the White Gull Inn in Fish Creek.

At 5:15, after trying to walk off all the calories we had consumed during the day, we checked in.  Patrons first were asked to go outside where they could get a drink and watch the boil.  The cook had started the potatoes, and then, about 20 minutes into it, he put some salt in and then the whitefish.  A little kerosene later, which caused the flame to roar, which caused the water to superboil, which caused the fat to boil over the side, and the food was done.

The buffet meal consisted of whitefish (all one could eat), potatoes, fresh breads, and cole slaw.  We were trained on how to debone our fish, and once we got that accomplished, it was "down the hatch!"  Afterward, we were treated to fresh cherry pie and ice cream.  Yum!
