H Salt Fish & Chips (H. Salt Esq. Fish & Chips) - Various MI

From Wikipedia:

H. Salt Esq. Fish & Chips is a restaurant chain specializing in British-style fish and chips, founded by Haddon Salt in Sausalito, California, in 1965. Salt followed his father and grandfather in becoming a master fish cook and entrepreneur.

Salt's business was acquired by the Kentucky Fried Chicken corporation in 1969. The sale made Salt the third largest stockholder in KFC, at the time the world's largest fast-food company.

KFC was not successful in the large-scale expansion of the H. Salt Esq. chain and cut its ties to the brand and business in 1987. Each franchisee was allowed to purchase their restaurant. A few independently owned H. Salt Esq. restaurants are still up and running around California.

This entry is to document the H Salt Fish & Chips locations in Michigan. I is based on a list that Bobby Peacock put together. I added some photos at the bottom of typical H Salt outlets with their original livery since none of the ones in Michigan retained that as they are closed. Here is the list for Michigan:
