Is a perfect sandwich more than the sum of its parts? If you taste one of the sandwiches at Fish Creek Market you might think so. Because on paper, they might seem like a sandwich you could order just about anywhere.
But this sandwich shop is not just anywhere, and that might help explain why these sandwiches are so cherished. The Fish Creek Mercantile has been located in a beautiful old building in, a wonderful location for more than 125 years.
The Fish Creek market offers everything you might need to fuel your vacation, including beverages, provisions, and souvenirs to bring home. But one of the best things sold here involves bread and fillings.
The market crafts extraordinary sandwiches that have delighted locals and visitors for decades. You can get them in the perfect to-go box, complete with chips and a cookie. The tradition dates back to when most Fish Creek residents didn’t have a refrigerator.
Find the perfect view and savor your Fish Creek Market sandwich, one bite at a time. Does the view make the sandwich taste better? Or perhaps your shopping trip to the beautiful old store? You can ponder that as you finish your cookie.
I’ve enjoyed many of these sandwiches – it’s been a while but the thought of biting into one of the best sandwiches in Wisconsin still makes me hungry. Learn more about Fish Creek Market on the shop’s website. If you’re planning a getaway, find accommodations on Booking.com.
