Comment: Sometimes plans of conquest fall through, and when they do it’s crucial to have a place like the Viking Bar & Grill to fall back on.
The plan this Friday was to finally dock at the Dog House in Mount Horeb since I’d been wanting to get in there forever, but the stars just never aligned. THIS was the Friday…or so I thought. After a quick run to @duluthtradingcompany to make an exchange we strode down 1st Street only to find the Dog House closed for remodeling. Blast! We navigated away, sailed back up to Main and right into the ever-loyal Viking. Here we sat, and here we feasted!
We’re no strangers to the spoils of the Vikes, and ordered rounds of libations and platters full of tiny fish to fill our bellies. The freshwater fillets come five to an order, and for a meager $15 are well worth the penance. On previous excursions to these lands the bluegill has been either elite or over-done, but on this voyage the frying was precise and the sunfish stayed snappy and supple. Each fillet was kissed with a light breading that kept the fish true to form allowing its subtle musk to enrobe tastebuds. A transcendent tartar enhanced it ever-so-delicately as if to say, I’m here, but pay me no mind, for the fish be thine master. Grade A stuff.
Alongside the king sat a magnificent mound of their signature cheesy potatoes. This stallari did everything right and commanded attention with its dense texture and over-the-top creaminess. It stole any remaining light not captured by the bluegill and left little for the standard creamy slaw or tear-off dinner roll.
The Viking is a Friday warrior if ever there was one, and as reliable an ally as you’ll find. Overall, we highly recommend this Fish Fry and can hardly wait to pillage a plate again. Set sail for MoHo, young man! The fishing grounds be ever fertile!www.facebook.com/p/The-Viking-Bar-Grill-100087787193522/
