FISH FRIES
golden fried deliciousness
Cuisine experience number one in Wisconsin is a Friday-night fish fry. Its exact ori-
gins are unknown, but it's certainly no coincidence that in a state contiguous to two
Great Lakes, featuring 15,000 glacial pools and undergoing waves of Catholic im-
migration(Catholicsdon'teatmeatonFridaysduringLent),peoplewouldspecialize
in a Friday-night fish-eating outing.
Fish fries are myriad—it's so popular that even the local fast-food restaurants
have them. The
American Serbian Hall
serves 2,500 people at a drive-through;
Chinese, Mexican, and other ethnic restaurants get in on the act; and even
Miller
Park
has fish fries at Friday Brewers games.
