Friday Fish Frys

[Heidi]

Lent is around the corner. Where do you like to go

for a Friday Fish Fry? What kind of fish do they serve

and what are the sides? State wide places too please.

We lived in Racine Wi for 4 years and had some of the best fish frys known to man (or woman). Typically in a dive bar where fresh perch caught in Lake Michigan were being brought in by the buckets. Melt in your mouth stuff.

So knowing that will be pretty much impossible to top, I'd also like to hear where everyones favorite fish fry is. For me, its usually on the deck at our place up north.

anywhere on a lake, camping or just fishing. your place up north probably means near water, if not anywhere up north is it for me as well. good luck.

Here's a thread from last year, might help you some.

Friday Fish Fry 2010

I only attended once (not catholic, so I don't have to follow this tradition), and I am sure it hasn't been mentioned...

St. Clotilde's in Green Valley, MN has a fish fry every Friday. They have been doing this for years. Always a good crowd. The trick for most will be finding Green Valley.

Come on Leaky, you know the best fishfry ever is at the campsite on Namakan the friday night of the BashKaNam Even if you don't remember it, LOL!!!

Seriously tho for a restaurant, I grew up in LaCrosse WI and we would drive down the river to Stoddard for the all you can east fishfry at Rocky's. I went once with my buddy's from our high school football team's offensive line, and had an eating contest. I ate 22 pieces of their fish. After the 15th piece, the waitress wasn't going to bring me any more, but I protested saying it was "all you can eat". She said, and I quote "yes, but for normal people!"

Well you can bet how that went over. Needless to say I got my fish and all was good!!

Xplorer - You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! What the heck was I thinking? We do have to get this year's adventure on the calender.

[Xplorer]

Already on.....Aug 17-21. Be there or ???????????

The 19th is slated as a "rainy" day.

Fish Bowl in Danbury, WI. I can't remember what kind of fish he uses but it's a dry batter. Its awesome and you get a big pile of it.

Ever try Gabby's Palace in Burlington while you were living in Racine? It would have been fairly close. They have the best fish fry on Fridays. My wife had family in the area and the deal was we could go visit as long as I got to go to the Palace for at least 1 lunch and 1 Friday fish fry.

Are there any fish frys around the Plymouth area? I just moved here and haven't seen any signs for any. Thanks for the help

Xplorer, +1 on Rockies, best fish fry in the upper Midwest, hands down. most I have seen was 15 pieces by a buddy of mine. He also had three cheese curds as well.....needless to say, we all stayed up wind of him the next day

[Leaky]

Xplorer - I'm in!!!

Nofish - We never ventured west to Burlington, but that whole area down there is into their fish frys. That and the golf courses are probably what I miss most.

[Xplorer]

AWESOME!!!

You will like the spot that Bob can reserve!! I'm gonna remind him next week to get it done!!

I was young, lean and had a hollow leg back then

When we used to take the boat down we used to stop at a small river side place in Brownsville on the way down. They had an appetizer of fried walleye cheeks that were to die for. Can't remember the name for the life of me, but we'd hit there for lunch and then fish our way down to Rocky's for a late fish fry. Those were the days, LOL!! : )

[picksbigwagon]

north or south of brownsville or in brownsville. I seem to remember a road house either north or south of brownsville....it had to have been south.....not on the river but tucked into the bluff side of the highway......guess I will have to investigate Brownsville and walleye cheeks though

[Xplorer]

It was a pretty small place, right on the river. We'd pull in the boats, I want to think they had gas too. I'm sure they're gone by now, its been close to 30 years since the last time I was there. I had just never seen, or seen since, a place that had walleye cheeks for an appetizer. Who knows, maybe they were just small round cut pieces of eye. Many times we were on the "party barge" and the summer hummers were going down pretty good

Traprock Inn over in Dresser, WI has an all you can eat deep fried dinner. I believe they use cod. Served with your choice of garlic mash, seasoned french fries, or chips. Haven't had it since the move, and miss it!
