Comment: I feel like Ive been over this. I dont want to beat a dead horse, but I just gotta say, Tobys is awesome. Like, totally awesome.
The bluegill at Tobys is only 11 beans and while its cheap, it doesnt mean they cheap out. A veritable boatload of bluegill fills the lunch hour basket adding up to at least 12 fillets. Each is home to a light and flaky breading that make the delicate fish shine. There are no rubbery or tough textures to be found which results in pure munching pleasure. While the light coating could use a hint more seasoning it does seem to vary from piece to piece so maybe its just me.
There are plenty of great potato options to choose from at Tobys but I cant seem to pull myself away from the hash brown with cheese and onion. These spuds are pleasantly greasy with a great flavor meld between the gooey cheese, potent onion, crispy and supple shreds. They are some of the best around and thats all that needs to be said.
Tobys is a supper club by name and as such boast a big, bold, supper club style tartar. This stuff has it all, thickness, creaminess, pungentness? Thats probably not a word, but I probably dont care. It kicks the fish into high gear and that all that matters. Ka-pow!
A thick piece of French bread sidles up to the fish like a sidler does as was just that and nothing more. The slaw is finely chopped and sweet and that just fine with me. And of course, no Fish Fry at Tobys would be complete without the bonus cup of Shoeps ice cream after. It puts a smile on everyones face, big kids and little kids alike.
I know the horse has been beaten, and it probably dead and decomposing at this point, but every time I go to Tobys Im going to tell you whats what. It great, its superb, its everything a Fish Fry should be. Overall, we highly recommend this Fish Fry, and were not horsing around.
