Fish, fried
I was paging through food magazines at Borders a few weeks ago and came across an issue of Saveur with fried fish on the cover. I opened to the corresponding article and saw that it was about the traditional Milwaukee fish fry.
Turns out, it was even more specific than that. They had photos, recipes and interviews from Wegner’s St. Martin’s Inn in Franklin. I had always thought that the fish there was exceptional, but it was interesting to see a national magazine reinforcing that.
The article included a recipe for their potato pancakes, which I made a few days later, as well as an old fashioned cocktail recipe. The pancakes were good and I didn’t ever try the old fashioned, but I’m sure it’s decent as the recipe doesn’t include some nasty mix.
In any case, I’ve always liked the fish there and the coleslaw is the best you can find anywhere. I’ve been going there for years, I recommend you try it too.
