Fish Fry

Wisconsin is known for Friday Night Fish Fry.  From local taverns to swanky supper clubs fish frys are a must on Fridays.  The menu usually consists of Perch, Haddock, and Walleye; some places include  frog legs and shrimp.

There are a lot of snowbirds from the midwest.  Last year they decided to bring their 'catch of the day' and share with all the residents of the condo.

First the fish were thawed out, then dried, dipped in egg, and dipped in cracker meal, bread crumbs, instant potato buds.

The next step is to fry them in hot oil.  Some use fryers, while others use frying pans on the stove.









Five different folks provided the fish, while others brought a dish to pass, in the end 83 people were served.

When these retired 'grannies' start cooking, it just can't be beat. 

  There is a couple here from Vancouver, WA.  They shared their clams with the group.  Telling us how and what tools they use to dig clams at low tide.  We learned how they recover the meat.  She breads them and frys them like a fish filet.    

All in all, it was a lot of work preparing and frying the fish.  Their reward was the compliments  from the diners.  

And that's the way it is..................
