Comment: We typically take a trip to Door County over Memorial Day weekend and we always start with a Friday Fish Fry at the Sister Bay Bowl. This year we moved the trip to a Sunday-Thursday in August and swooped into the Bowl on a Tuesday night instead…same Bowl, same specials, same brilliance.
The perch at the SBB is 100% the genuine article and is listed at “Market Price” on the menu (which was $27 this year). For that lofty price tag you get four full fish (eight fillets) with all the standard sides. While there might be a sticker shock for some, the dense, meaty perch is worth every stinking penny IMO. The fillets are tender and sweet, and complimented by a lightly-seasoned, ideally flaky breading that sets the standard for what lake perch is supposed to be.
The crinkle-cut fries are run-of-the-mill and the only other option on Tuesday and Friday is a baked potato. The Bowl’s tartar is unique with a really smooth texture and super sweet flavor. The homemade slaw has a nice vinegar tang and the half-white half-rye homemade bread loaf is always a quirky treat.
The Sister Bay Bowl shines as one of the Crown Jewels in what I consider Wisconsin’s lake perch holy trinity along with Wendt’s on the Lake and Maricque’s Bar. Overall, we highly recommend this Fish Fry and it was simply another wonderful visit with wonderful friends in one of the most wonderful places in Wisconsin. Long live Door County and long live the Bowl! Until next year…www.sisterbaybowl.com/
