Comment: I know what you’re thinking. He didn’t go out for fish this Friday!? He’s lost it! Game over! Blasphemy!!! Rest assured, folks, I did go out. I was just too damn tired to post anything about it afterwards. Y’know…hockey and all that.
We ran to the Village Green after yet another Friday night hockey practice and were pleasantly surprised to see we weren’t the only hockey families there. We put in for curds, fish, and Old Fashioneds immediately and enjoyed the scene until they arrived. Our waitress was super attentive and got us our food quickly despite the raucous crowd.
I went for the 4-piece based on our previous visit and it turned out to be a bit much. The pieces were hefty and really put me in my place. The beer batter was flavorful but didn’t cling perfectly to every piece - I took one of the more nude ones home. The fat chunks were a bit hard to handle and left a little grease on the fingertips, but were still really enjoyable when slathered with the thick and pungent tartar.
An average-sized handful of crispy battered fries offset the slick fish nicely, and the hush puppies, while lukewarm, added a great onion-y essence. The slaw was kind of just slaw…creamy and nondescript.
The Village Green offers a nice classic dive bar feel in the middle of what some would call a yuppie paradise. Overall, we still recommend this Fish Fry despite a few flaws and will be back to hit the Green any time we need a quick bite on the busy Friday.www.thevillagegreenmiddleton.com/
