Diners who frequented the long-closed Joe Muer’s in Detroit find great fish in its predecessor’s tradition.

This restaurant has always been a solid value for moderately priced fish and seafood. Lit by schoolhouse lamps, its paneled walls are brightened with seascapes thanks to longtime proprietor David Muer, a distant relative of the Muers of the long-closed Detroit Joe Muer's and the Chuck Muer chain fame. When Joe Muer's closed, David Muer obtained the recipes for some of its signature dishes, such as shrimp Ilene, baked shrimp in casino butter, crab balls with mustard sauce and creamy white bean relish alongside creamed spinach, and you can find them here. The restaurant believes in the simple preparation of fish such as trout, perch and whitefish, allowing the flavor to come through without the disguise of sauces. Such venerable dishes as finnan haddie survive, too. Service is friendly and informal.
