One if by land, THREE if by sea? 🤔 (just a little "light" humor to start the post 🏇)

Rode out to Delafield to Revere's Wells Street Tavern (on Wells, just off Genesee St), but at noon, not midnight, for today's Friday fish fry.

Revere's is owned by the same people that run Leff's Lucky Town and Hot House Tavern, so you know you'll get a quality meal 😋

Their b**r battered cod fish fry comes with three big loins of fish in a crispy, tasty batter, served along with a side of seasoned fries (or potato pancakes, baked potato, or their delicious homemade chips), plus coleslaw, tartar, and salted marble rye bread 🐟 👍

No word on if the British will be here later, so beat the crowd and head on over now!

A fish fry at sea? 🛳

Spending the week aboard the Norwegian Gem cruise ship in the Mediterranean and checking out the various food options - spotted a fish and chips on the menu at O'Sheehan's, a bar & grill on level 8 above the atrium.

Made with a light fluffy batter over pieces of cod, it's served with crispy French fries, coleslaw and a garlic-y remoulade sauce, all for the low low price of "included at no additional charge" 😁👍🐟

🚨 Everyday fish fry alert, Breckenridge edition?🚨

Had to head out to Breckenridge 🏔 for a long work weekend and was starving by the time we got in, so decided to head out and look for some lunch, stumbling across the Breckenridge Brewery & Pub 🍻. It's a local brewpub featuring a variety of b**rs, plus a nice selection of food options including their fish & chips 😋

Two big pieces of tender cod are coated in a super thin b**r batter using their own Avalanche Ale - the batter walks the border between batter and breading, a nice fusion of breading thin and crispiness and batter flavor. Served atop some nicely seasoned crispy friea, plus tartar and coleslaw 🐟 👍

Gluten-free grouper at Good Harvest!

Did you know there's a restaurant attached to the Good Harvest Market in Pewaukee? Behind the store (on Silvernail) is Hop Harvest & Vine, a restaurant that started life as a cafe, but expanded in 2020 to add more to their offerings, including local beeers (Hop) farm-to-table food (Harvest) and organic wines by the glass (Vine).

In keeping with their fresh and homemade menu, they do a gluten-free baked cod "fry", as well as our choice tonight: the pan fried grouper 😋

You can choose between gluten-free or traditional breading on a fork tender filet of grouper, each with a very light and delicate texture and mild taste, served along with some tasty herb coated baked fries, plus fresh coleslaw and tartar 🐟 👍

Oh, and don't forget to check out the market while you're there - the store is filled with unique products you won't find at your average grocery store 🛒

Does The GOAT in Sussex have Friday fish fry? Totes ma-goats, they do!

Another trip out to Sussex, this time to "The GOAT" bar & grill (at the corner of Main & Silver Spring). It's a relatively new place, opened just a couple summers ago, and makes everything from scratch, including this tasty fish fry 😋

Featuring three pieces of fresh cod, fried up in a thin and crunchy breading - it's served along with a side of crispy fries (or potato pancakes), plus coleslaw, tartar, lemon, marble rye, and applesauce 🐟👍

The GOAT theme is shown throughout the restaurant - it's a combination of greatness (famous athlete, music artists, and more), but also goats 🐐, including a live stream of the roof up at Al Johnson's so that you can watch the goats graze while you do, too 😁

🚨 Everyday fish fry alert! 🚨

The weather today may be soggy, but the food is crispy at Crispy City (at 98th and Oklahoma in Milwaukee) 😀

Crispy City is a new restaurant on the southwest side of town, having opened just a few months ago. Their slogan: "The ultimate crunch in every bite". This place has a huuuge menu, featuring fried chicken (pieces, tenders, and more), sandwiches, tons of sides, plus Middle Eastern favorites like sheesh tawook, falafel, taboule, and even things like lamb chops and whole rotisserie chickens!

In addition to all that, and the reason for today's visit: their seafood options. You can pick from catfish, ocean perch, shrimp, and this choice here: the fried cod combo

Available as two or three pieces of bright white fish in an absolutely perfect thin but complete breading, with a crunch you'd expect from a place with "crispy" in the name. Served along with a substantial amount of very crunchy (and spicy seasoned) fries, plus a dinner roll and drink 👍🐟

Based on the cod breading, plus the photos of their other food, I'm pretty confident the rest of the menu items will be just as tasty - I'll be back to check out those shrimp 😋

There's Trouble a-brewin' at Central Waters Brewing! 🍻

When we talk about hidden gem fish frys, we usually mean something off the beaten path, or tucked away in a neighborhood. Today's Friday fish fry might be the most literal use of the phrase.

Trouble Makers' Cocina, a Milwaukee Latin Fusion restaurant (that also runs a mobile kitchen truck and does catering) is hidden away in the Central Waters Brewing Company on 10th and Juneau in the Brewery district.

Is there a big sign outside? No, just a small sign on the door directing you upstairs to the back corner of the tap room, where they operate a kitchen for to go orders, or enjoy your meal there with a b**r or two.

In addition to their menu of tacos, small (and big) bites, they offer a Friday fish fry that is simply delicious 😋

Big pieces of tender cod, dipped in a Central Waters Honey Blonde ale batter and fried up crisp, perfectly prepared with crunch, and served atop a heaping portion of spicy seasoned shoestring fries, plus some of their ancho chipotle coleslaw, house-made tartar, and tasty buttered and griddled toast points. ¡Que bueno! 👍🐟

Waddle Inn to a Friday fish fry! 🦆

I flew on over to The Waddle Inn (and boy, are my arms tired?) on North Ave near 68th to pick up a lunch fish fry from a recently refreshed location that you might remember being Growlers East Tosa before its rebranding

This neighborhood bar has weekend brunch, wings, sandwiches, and (after 4pm) some elevated main course plates that sound pretty darn good, but today, we're here for the fish fry 😋

Three strips of Atlantic cod, fried up in a nice, medium-thickness batter with a light flavor. The fish itself had bright white flakes and good flavor. Accompanied by potato pancakes or these great crispy seasoned waffle fries, plus tartar, house-made coleslaw and lemon (also marble rye, but I think mine just got missed - no big deal, I forgot to check before I left) 🐟

The after 4pm menu also has a parmesan crusted walleye and blackened salmon, so if you want to try the trifecta of fish options, stop on by on a Friday night (the walleye and salmon are also available daily) 👍

Feeling lucky today? Stop on by Zaners Club Shamrock for a Friday fish fry! 🍀

Located on 164 in Big Bend (near Edgewood Ave) is this local small town bar cooking up burgers, sandwiches, pizza, and a hidden gem of a fish fry 😋

Available Fridays are several options, including this b**r battered cod: available as a 2 or 3 piece, it has one of the thinnest b**r batter coatings I can remember but still holds up quite nice, with great flakes of fish. Served along with a side of potato pancakes or these tasty shoestring fries (also baked potatoes later in the evening), plus marble rye, tartar and coleslaw 🐟

They also have perch, walleye, shrimp, and baked cod on the menu along with combo meals to combine some of those choices, so plenty of reason to return and try them all 👍

🚨 Everyday fish fry alert! 🚨

I tried Mr. Chicken 🍗 (at 33rd and Loomis in Greenfield) a while back to check out their tasty chicken (it's in the name, after all), but noted a need to return and give their fish a try, and today's the day 😋

They have options on their menu for fried tilapia, catfish, or this option here: cod

In each case, they're available as a 2, 4 or 6 piece. When in doubt, I did what Goldilocks would do and chose the "just right" 4 piece and had plenty of food!

The pieces of cod are huge with great flake, and their breading and spice mix give a nice little kick of flavor. Paired with a side - I'd recommend their potato wedges as some of the better wedges in the area, with a nice breaded crunch and that same flavorful spice blend 👍🐟

Oh, and check out the fun comic book artwork that adorns the walls😀
