Comment: There’s nothing quite like lakeside dining and you really can’t get any closer than the Lakeside Bar & Grill (which I suppose is fitting). The Fish Fry at this waterside establishment is a robust one, with plenty of options to pick from. I had a hard time choosing, but settled on the $18 4-piece haddock with a side of Rosti potatoes.
The haddock comes beer battered or breaded and on the waitress’s recommendation I went for the beer battered. My batch spent ample time in the fryer (to the point where bits of batter were bubbling off), but it didn’t suffer much. The batter mostly remained intact and the crunch offset the flaky white fish well.
The Rosti potatoes are a Swiss take on hash browns which I’ve only ever seen in New Glarus prior to today. They were on the borderline of being over-fried, but pulled from the griddle in the nick of time. They had a mellow flavor which balanced their crisp exterior nicely.
Two cups of their classic tartar were necessary to handle the four stout pieces of fish, the cup of slaw was fairly standard, and grandma’s dinner roll was as basic as they come.
In all honesty, we had no intention of dining on Lake Wisconsin tonight (the Spring Creek Restaurant was closed which forced our hand), but I’m glad we did. The weather was perfect for a dockside retreat, the Fish Fry was satisfying, and the view simply can’t be beat. Overall, this Fish Fry is easily recommendable, and further proof that Lodi just knows how to fry.lakesidebarwi.com
