Comment: The 3-piece cod from the Hooterville Inn in Blue Mounds is superb as always.
It was pretty mellow at the Inn during the lunch hour and our fish was some of the first of the day to fry. The chunks of cod were fat and although it looked like a 2-piece to the naked eye, two of the fillets actually fused into one super-chunk in the frying process. Both remaining pieces were well-fried and home to the Hooter’s benevolent beer batter. This is some of the tastiest batter around and it takes the high-quality cod to heights few fish ever see.
The “new” crinkle-cut fries are chubbier than their predecessor and as such they stay hotter longer. They are still pretty basic though, and I know people swear but the baby reds so if you want something more unique that’s the move.
Hooterville’s tartar lives in a big squeeze bottle at your table and is ideally thick, creamy, and zesty. It pairs perfectly with the creamy cod and makes it something more. The dinner roll is as basic as they come and the slaw has a little color but standard flavor.
I’ve heard people say that the Hooterville Inn boasts the best Fish Fry in the state. While I don’t know that I’d go quite that far, it is definitely some of the best beer battered cod that money can buy, and we continue to recommend it highly.www.hootervilleinnwi.com
