White Gull Inn Restaurant
White Gull Inn
A historic inn founded in 1896 in Fish Creek, home to Door County's most famous outdoor fish boil dinner.
Located on Main Street in Fish Creek, this is the oldest inn in Door County. The fish boil dinner features a fish boil master cooking Lake Michigan whitefish and small red potatoes in a large outdoor kettle. At the end, a splash of oil is thrown into the pot to create a dramatic flare-up known as boil-over, a local signature show. The kitchen does not use onions, and guests who don't want fish can order grilled chicken. Other evenings are candlelit dinners. The cherry-filled French toast at breakfast was once named best breakfast by Good Morning America. Summer fish boils must be booked by phone a few days ahead (920-868-3517); this is one of the pricier fish boils in the county.
