Really nice local fish and chips spot serving exclusively great lakes fish.
Walk in, walk up and order from the menu board on the wall. Reminded me of Long John Silver style process minus the chicken options.
I had the walleye basket and my wife had the single piece white fish. It is fried fish and French fries, so nothing fancy.
Our dinners were prepared and served within 10 minutes of ordering, with the restaurant 3/4 full, so very friendly, prompt service. Our dinners consisted of fried fish, French fries and two hushpuppies each, Cole slaw, plus a drink. The fries were good, the fish very tasty, the slaw is very nice and the hushpuppies, small, but good.
Overall, a good experience.

This little gem is tucked away so you need to look for it a bit. The sign is big but it’s set back away from the sign. We’re so glad we found it. The service was great and the food was so fresh. We had the white fish chowder and white fish with fries/hush puppies and fish tacos. Everything was hot and fresh! I can’t think of anything they need to improve upon. Great job!

Probably the best fish sandwich I’ve tried in Michigan or anywhere else. Well fried whitefish, really delicate and super tasty. I ordered the 3 fish to go and the portions are large. We are it on the beach at our resort. Perfect day!

Absolutely phenomenal food. Ordered chicken tenders and whitefish baskets. The fish and chicken 10/10, coleslaw 10/10, hush puppies 1000/10 the Tartar SAUCE 100000/10 fries are yummy too. Will come back and recommend to everybody. Service was great and fast too! Fresh crispy and delicious. We ate outside with our toddler in her stroller and it worked perfectly. Cozy spot

I really didn’t have very high hopes for a place named Scalawags. The name alone brought visions of a tourist trap with crappy over priced food.
But asking for lunch recommendations while visiting the colonial fort, Scalawags kept coming up, so we decidedto give it a shot.
Walking up, it was pretty much what I expected. At the front door, you are greeted by a crusty old fisherman, hewn from a log with a chainsaw. In the dinning room, vintage fishing and camping gear adorn the walls and ceiling, with old oars and paddles making up room deviders and tin bait buckets used as light fixtures. In all reality, this place is pretty simple. Orders are placed at the counter and then brought to your table when ready. Both fountain drinks and tea are self serve and unlimited.
Whatever this place may or may not be, Scalawags doesn’t pretend to be something it is not. THIS is a fish and chips place. You can order a fish basket or a fish sandwich and that’s pretty much it (they DO offer a chicken sandwich, but I guess they have that for some Karen that wants to be difficult).
What I’m not going to do is talk about the sides. We didn’t come here because we heard someone say they had the best coleslaw in Michigan, or that they make their tartar sauce by hand fresh everyday (which they may do, i didn’t ask). But, by God, their white fish is the best I’ve ever had. It’s not greasy or overly fishy tasting. The filetts generously sized and done to perfection. They are served simply, in a boat, over fries, with a couple hush puppies, a small container of slaw and some tartar sauce.
If you are in search of a fancy high brow dinner, with silver and china, go simmered else. THIS place is reserved for regular folks looking for a relaxed place with fantastic fish.
Great job guys, keep up the good work.

Crispy fresh fish with a very cute outdoor seating area. The perfect place to stop on a hot sunny day and sit under a tree enjoying a fish fry. Thin fries, crispy hush puppies and fresh fish. They keep the skin on the fish. We tried the walleye, perch and white fish. Freshly fried when you order. We got the baskets which come with fries, hush puppies, coleslaw and tartar sauce.

I was pleasantly surprised by the freshness and flavor of the fish! A little bit of lemon and some tartar sauce and wow it was truly some of the best fish I’ve had!! Staff was friendly and there is outdoor seating available to enjoy the weather. It’s located a few steps behind the stores facing the main street of the shopping area, but it is definitely worth the visit if you’re craving a solid basket of fish and chips!!

Scalawags White Fish and Chips was a pleasant experience. The staff was friendly, and our food was served hot and fast. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, which adds flexibility. All in all, not too bad—a solid spot for a quick and tasty bite!
