Comment: The 4-piece bluegill from the Gym Bar & Grill in Sauk City was good and an absolutely amazing deal.
All four fish options at the gym start at $9 and can be upgraded from there for $3 a pop. It’s a unique system that’s got a lot of appeal for anyone who is a little indecisive when Friday night rolls around. In all honesty I didn’t fully grasp the true mix-n-match nature of it, and probably would have added a perch or two had I given it more thought, but was satisfied with my bluegill.
The sunfish fillets varied in size but all shared the same light breading. The breading allowed the subtle fishy essence of the bluegill to shine through and meld seamlessly with the thick and pungent tartar. The little man got the 1-piece cod, a while he liked it just fine, it looked like a standard pre-battered fillet to me.
The straight-cut freezer fries were basic but dusted with a tasty seasoning that gave them a jolt. The slaw also had some serious snort but still went down easy. Topping things off were two warm and soft pretzel sticks that were far better than a basic dinner roll. Yum.
The Gym is a real bar and the place was full of fun-loving locals this Friday (as I’m sure it’s most Fridays). The staff did an impressive job managing the crowd (and us) as we enjoyed a great time and great food. Overall, we recommend this Fish Fry and think that for $9 you simply can’t ask for anything more.www.facebook.com/TheGymBarandGrill/
