Lunch at Fish Creek Market
When I lived in Key West there were more tourists than there were locals except for when they evacuated them during hurricane warnings. We had lots of fantastic places to eat, but most of the were touristy. I loved having a few places that the tourists didn’t know about to go to. In fact, I could write a whole other post on local spots in Key West.
When I go on vacation I love to hear where the locals like to eat. Most of the time it’s not something I would find on trip advisor or other tourist sites.
When we asked the locals in Door County where a great place for lunch would be we heard Fish Creek Market more than once. We decided that we would check it out.
At first I was a little confused. It’s actually a market as in a grocery store. The deli was all the way in the back.
That is where I saw the sign to order sandwiches.
There were little order pads where we could fill out our order and have them made.
Once we bought our sandwiches we walked out back to sit on the lake and enjoy our sandwiches.
I’ll have to admit, when I first opened the package I was kind of unimpressed. I couldn’t figure out what all the fuss was about the sandwich. It looked pretty basic. I was totally wrong.
One bite and I totally understood why the locals recommended the Fish Creek Market. I’m not sure if it was the fresh meat or what, but the sandwich was amazing!

In fact, we even went back and ordered another sandwich for our road trip home. If you’re ever in the Door County area I highly suggest checking out the Fish Creek Market and ordering a sandwich.

This is in Door County, WI. I used to live in Key West though … check out Louie’s Backyard and the Rum Barrel for food. And the Key Lime pie is fantastic from the Key Lime Pie Co. 🙂
I’ve gotten some pretty good sandwiches at places like this. I wish we had one of these locally.
Ask them to add Sour dough rolls to their line up of sliced breads- the enzymes slow the digestion of carbohydrates, thus it’s great for diabetics. One out 5 Americans have pre diabetes or Type 2 and don’t even know it, according to the American Diabetes association.
How awesome and delightful of a place this seems! I am envious lol I would love to find a sweet little place like this to jkust relax and enjoy a great meal! Thank you for sharing your wonderful day with us 🙂
I LOVE Fish Creek Market! You need to read Bittersweet by LaVryle Spencer! It’s your typical romance novel, but the whole thing is set in Door County and in the book, the main characters dad owns the Fish Creek Market! Such a good book, but it’s also neat to read it after you’ve been there! The whole peninsula is magical in my opinion!
Excellent sandwiches and a GREAT view to boot!
Chris is a Yelp addict and we have been able to find a lot of really great places to eat on road trips by Yelping it. And yes—he always looks for those out of the way local joints that are not touristy at all which is always a great plus. That sandwich looks pretty tasty from where I sit!
