Hagen’s Fish Market has been smoking up Chicago since 1946, and it’s still run by the same family—now with a 26-year-old at the helm! Their secret? Real hardwood, legendary brine, and a whole lot of nostalgia. The smoked fish is so good, people bring in their own catches just to get the Hagen’s treatment. If you’ve never had their fried shrimp in a paper bag, you’re missing out on a true Chicago rite of passage. Some things really do get better with age! #Food #ChicagoEats #FamilyBusiness
