Comment: Grabbed this beautiful plate of fish from the Weary Traveler before the Primus/Coheed show at Breese Stevens Friday night.
The Weary does fish on Wednesday and Fridays and they actually weren’t swamped when we rolled in around 5:30. The fish is cod and it comes smothered in a relatively thick beer batter. The batter has a decadent flavor and its girth keeps the fish underneath slick. I thought it was rich and really hearty for a 2-piece but the kid didn’t care for it at all. He gravitated towards the shoestring style fries which were expertly crisped and delicious.
The tartar was clearly house made and delightfully tangy. It took the fish up a notch for sure. The coarsely-chopped slaw was also house made and fresh, but a bit of a bear to get on the fork…tasty though. Capping things off was a superb little slice of toasted rye. It was perfect.
The Weary has always been a great spot and since it was so close to the venue it made sense tonight. Overall, this Fish Fry is pretty good and great addition to a Willy St. scene that doesn’t have all that many Fish Fry options in general. The Bad Breath Burger is also still one of the best in town.www.wearytravelerfreehouse.com
