And just like that, Lent 2025 is off and running with a quick and easy 3-piece cod at the Paoili Pub. I barely had time to rip my $20 in pull tabs before the fish ripped its way out of the kitchen, so you know it was hot as can be and ready for me. I damn near scalded myself trying to handle the steaming fillets but the payoff was well worth the risk.
This cod is as consistent as they come - dense and flaky with a light beer batter that practically dances on the palate. It pairs exquisitely with the ultra-think and tremendously tangy tartar resulting in next-level satisfaction. The waffle fries were equally alluring, and while I would have loved some hash browns with C&O (they’re only available after 4pm) these seasoned spuds did their duty and then some.
A big cup of tangy slaw rounded out the lunchtime Fry and while I can’t be sure it’s homemade my guess is that it is. It’s almost too good not to be…
The Paoli Pub is a unique animal in town (basically the only traditional spot on the block) and once I saw they were taking part in the Potosi Cave Ale Fish Fry contest I knew I needed to pay them another visit. Oddly enough, the amber ale wasn’t yet available at lunchtime (so a spicy bloody had to suffice), but don’t let that little detail sway you - this is a damn good meal. Overall, we recommend this Fish Fry and think it’s more than worthy of your vote…of course, if you’re reading this you probably already knew that.www.facebook.com/pages/Paoli-Pub-Grill/210609308957841
