Comment: Lent is a special time of year for the Fish Fry faithful. Those of us who practice year-round notice an uptick in fellowship, but also see practitioners expand their offerings in an attempt to please their parishioners. @longtablebeercafe is a conscience contributor.
During the Lenten Season Longtable expands their entourage with legit lake perch in their Friday offering - which is an amazing addition to the basic beer battered cod. This perch features an ultra-crispy, plentifully-seasoned breading that is hard to ignore. It stands in stark contrast to their smooth aioli-esque tartar that has plenty of pop and juuuuuust enough cling.
Longtable’s calling card has long been their frites and this batch was audible, especially when coupled with one of their specialty sauces. The crisp and vinegar-y Longtable slaw is also a personal fave, as it’s got a subtle snap of cilantro that makes it a little more special the standard Sysco stuff.
Longtable is a unique entity in the Middleton food scene, and while it’s never godlike, it always approaches divinity. Overall, we recommend this Fish Fry and still wish they’d put the perch out EVERY Friday. I guess I still have something to pray for…www.longtablebeercafe.com
