Bena, Minnesota - Big Fish The Big Fish Supper Club is still in business but it opens in the Middle of May (a sign attached to the door read "Opening May 11" when I visited there in 2006). My guess is it's only open during the late Spring/Summer/Fall season. The huge fish statue is still next to the supper club but it's not complete, with only the bottom teeth in and a blue tarp covering the top inside of its mouth, unless they add the top teeth when the restaurant is back in operation.

Bena, Minnesota - Big Fish Restaurant The Big Fish Supper Club is on Hwy. 2 just outside of Bena, Minnesota, about halfway between Bemidji and Grand Rapids. The restaurant itself is in a normal building beside the fish. At one point, there was a hamburger stand inside the fish's belly, but that's long since been closed.
Now it's just a roadside oddity. Fun tip: you can stand inside the mouth and pose for a picture.
They only put the teeth in during the summer, though.
At last check, the Big Fish supper club was up for sale. No word on whether it's been sold yet. [Tonia, 09/20/2000]
