Comment: It was your average Friday and I had made the difficult decision to pass on Fish Fry for lunch. As fate would have it MiahMan called in distress and said that he and Cousin Nate were at Dexters and in need of assistance. I sprung into action.
Like Clark Kent with a phone booth I changed from average Joe into Superfish in the blink of an eye. I leapt tall thresholds in a single bound on my way out the door and flew down 113 at light speed using my x-ray-like vision to weave in and out of traffic with ease. The force of the Fish Fry drew me in and the 10 minute drive was made in what seemed like mere seconds. In a flash, I was in the door, a plate of perch awaiting my arrival.
The $10 perch plate was generously appointed with 7-8 large fillets, an unconscionable amount of brew fries, corpulent cups of tartar and coleslaw, and a dinner roll. Like kryptonite, the perch brought our trio to its knees with its flavor and bounty. The fish was delish. Each and every piece was moist and flaky with a breading to die for. The bevy was too much for MiahMan and Cousin Nate, but heroically Superfish was there to save the day, taking out his adversaries with ease.
Dexters brew fries are not one to be messed with and today they came in waves. The platoon of potatoes took the low ground, and provided a solid foundation for the perch to brace itself against. They were entrenched, but we mustered up all our courage (and hunger) and busted the crispy critters out of their salty bunker. The garlic/chile rendition MiahMan and Cousin Nate took on also came in large numbers. They were a force to be reckoned with as the slightly-spicy squad kept our heroes at bay until the end when Superfish intervened and thinned their herd.
Coming to our aide was Dexters homemade tartar sauce which was a powerful mix with a mayo:relish proportion that was tough to tame. The zesty sauce perked up the perch and made its ultimate demise inevitable.
Testing our conviction was the standard tear-off style dinner roll, which neither helped nor hurt matters, and Dexters latest peril-fraught endeavor into the realm of the slaw. Try as we might the strangely unappealing slaw took the wind out of our sails causing us to turn away in horror. Luckily, the cabbage-y catastrophe was a minor setback and the phenomenal force of the Fish Fry won the day.
As quickly as we arrived we were gone, vanishing into the wondrous Madison skyline -our bellies full, and our foes bested.
Somewhere lost would-be fish goers cry out, where, oh where do we find the best Fish Fry!? For these souls, there is Madison Fish Fry - a lover of The Fry, a seeker of fishly knowledge, a champion of the people, by the people and for the people.
