Comment: Sometimes you just don’t have time to do it all, but I still managed to squeeze in a Fish Fry in last Friday (even if I’m just getting around to telling you about it now).
We rolled into Timbers in DeForest around 4:30 with our orders (metaphorically) in-hand - walleye for me and cod for the kid. The fish hit the table about five minutes later and we ripped right into it.
This walleye is beer battered, and while I typically prefer a light breading on my freshwater fish, it was still very good like this. The fillet was fat enough that the batter didn’t overwhelm it, and some of the signature walleye flavor still shone through. It did necessitate a generous application of tartar, and thankfully, the thick and zippy mix was up to the task.
The waffle fries were abundant and offset the decadently batter fish with plenty of audible crunch. The cornbread was a welcome change of pace from the basic dinner roll and the slaw lent the cool and creamy contrast it’s supposed to.
Between spring hockey tournaments and soccer games Friday had us running ragged but the quick stop at Timbers was just the bit of normalcy I needed by 5pm. The $19 walleye more than did the job, but I will say, the I liked the batter better when paired with the cod. Either way, both are recommendable and I wouldn’t shy away for getting either again.www.timberstavern.net/
