Wiscosinite's Love thier Fish Fry!

You can’t go anywhere on a Friday night without running into someone who is either going or have been to a fish fry!

Today’s fish fry is a tradition and a staple in Wisconsin where loads of places host fish fries.  This has been an ongoing event that is year round and is especially popular during the lenten season surrounding Easter for all religious backgrounds. Fish fries are offered at bars, restaurants, diners, and just about anywhere.  A normal fish fry has the staple of beer battered fish that is either Cod, Blue Gill, Perch, Walleye and other varieties of fish depending on the location. Usually, a fish fry is served with potato pancakes or fries, coleslaw, rye bread, tartar sauce or other sides. The tradition in Wisconsin started primarily because the state was settled by Catholics who didn’t eat meat on Fridays.  Wisconsin has an abundance of lakes so fish was a natural and logical substitute.

At Grill 164, we serve our Friday  Fish Fry every week like many others.  All of our fish fries come with coleslaw, potato salad, rye bread, and your choice of french fries or homemade potato pancakes.  Baked potato’s are available for a small added cost.  We offer Cod, Bluegill, and Lake Perch that can be pan fried or deep fried in our house made breading.  We also offer a baked variety as well and a Fried Cod Sandwich. Stop by and enjoy an Oconomowoc Fish Fry at Grill 164.  We’ll see you soon!

If owners have a solid vision for their restaurant, they have the key to creating a memorable experience for their customers. They can accomplish this through things like appealing menus with local specials and more accomodating services. When owners of local restaurants are personally invested in their business, it’s amazing how the hard work they’ve put in can be seen throughout. This hard work and effort reflect good service and a welcoming atmosphere more effectively than chain restaurants. The other creative aspect that gets put into a local restaurant is the bran...

Turkey Day

The stores may already be decorated for Christmas and some radio stations may already be playing the same 50 Christmas songs, but Thanksgiving is still around the corner. Thanksgiving is the holiday where families come together and celebrate all they are thankful for. Declared as an official holiday by Abraham Lincoln in 1864, Thanksgiving is one of the few holidays with roots to this country’s history. Along with the history, and the gratitude of this holiday, the turkey is an essential part of Thanksgiving. Ben Franklin favored the turkey over the bald eagle but since it didn’t end up being America’s national bird, how did it become the seasonal bird on our dinner plates? Turkeys probably weren’t the main course of the first Thanksgiving meal that took place between the pilgrims and indians in 1621. According to accounts from William Bradford, the governor of Plymouth, Massachusetts, it stated in his journals that fowl, deer, or fish were served instead of turkey. But turkeys ...
