Fish boil

A fish boil is a culinary tradition in areas of Wisconsin and along the coastal Upper Great Lakes, with large Scandinavian populations.

Many credit Scandinavian immigrants for bringing the fish boil to Door County.

[1] The fish is cut into small chunks and cooked in boiling water with red potatoes.

The boiler then tosses a small amount of kerosene on the fire and the increase in flames causes a boilover.

Although not part of the traditional recipe, tartar sauce and lemon slices are often served with the fish.
