Established in 1945, a tradition was started of selling the freshest whitefish in the area. With a one floor restaurant which was less than half the size of the first floor today, the former owner ​and his dishwasher would walk over to the Locks after breakfast to catch the fish to serve for lunch that day. In just two years, business had grown so much that he added on the front section, which views the locks today. Again in 1963 the upstairs was added as tourism increased at the Soo Locks.
