On my bucket list since moving to Chicago has been a Friday Fish Fry in Wisconsin. With Lent winding down, we decided to head to Lake Geneva early Friday afternoon. Since we're not yet vaccinated, we wanted to eat during a not-so-busy time.
My husband and I both ordered the all-you-can-eat cod. The bartender allowed me both a potato pancake (savory, but served with apple sauce) AND hush puppies, along with the requisite cole slaw (what's a fish Fry w/o slaw?!?), and hubby paid a $2 up charge for onion rings as his side.
I opted for half&half baked and fried cod. The pieces of cod were thick and perfectly cooked. Truth be told, the baked cod was seasoned really well, and I liked it as much, if not better, than the beer-batter fried (and the fried was EXCELLENT). Everything was clearly fresh and made from scratch. The onion rings were thick, golden, and crunchy. The potato pancake was crispy and flavorful. The hush puppies were the perfect ratio of crunchy outside and soft, oniony inside. Everything was served hot...except the creamy, vinegary yet a bit sweet cole slaw - perfect to cut the fried food. Oh, and there was a half slice of marbled rye bread, which served to sop up some of the oil from the fried cod. If I had any suggestion to improve, it might be to allow the fish to drain just a little more and a little more seasoning in the batter, but honestly, it was nothing a little salt and the rye bread couldn't fix. Pair it all with a creamy, chocolat-y espresso porter, a beautiful view of the sun on Lake Como with March Madness on all 3 screens, and I can feel nothing but blessed and grateful.
This place is LEGIT for Fish Fry, decent adult beverages, and friendly service.
