Comment: I had some business to attend to in Stoughton, and since I hadn’t been to Deak’s in forever, I figured taking care of said business on a Friday was a smart move.
Deak’s is seemingly as popular as ever and there were quite a few locals having a good old time at 11:30 AM this Friday. I bellied up to the bar, grabbed a bloody, and threw in my order for the $11 cod lunch special.
The fish came lickity-split and looked just right. The two roughly three ounce pieces of flaky white fish were blessed by a light and bubbly beer batter that was totally in balance. I absolutely crushed the duo along with the cup of thick and tangy tartar - an idyllic combo of ever there was one.
The $11 special comes with chips, but can be upgraded to fries for a buck and change (and I’d recommend you do just that). The fries were lightly battered, perfectly fried, and came in droves. I loved every crunchy crumb and appreciated the plentiful portion since there wasn’t any sort of bread with the lunch plate. To that end, there isn’t supposed to be slaw with lunch special either, but the bartender told me there was when I ordered, so when none came initially (and I asked where it was) she kept her word and grabbed me one…and I’m glad she did - the homemade mix was delightful.
Deak’s also has perch for lunch, but the cod just sounded right to me today. I was also informed their Fish Fry station is set up every day of week since it’s so popular. So, apparently there’s no need to wait to Friday if you need your fix. Overall, we recommend this Fish Fry and think Deak’s is still dynamite especially when coupled with a BOGO from the @madcitycocktails book. That sucker is a banger!www.deakspub.com
