At Bullocks Bistro, the potato chipper is against the wall, the cold beers are in the fridge, and the shack has the feel of a warm, frat-house family kitchen. On the menu: Pickerel, White Fish, Lake Trout, Arctic Char, grilled, pan-fried or deep-fried. For the carnivore, there’s Caribou, Musk ox and Bison, grilled to perfection. The service blows hot or cold, but the meals are worth travelling, and paying for.

Note from Robin : Some people love it, others hate it. My own experience confirmed it is one of the best fish restaurants in the country, and the atmosphere lively. The portions are huge, so nobody goes home hungry. Although the fish is outstanding, the grilled meats will make you salivate too.
