Our pursuit of truly unforgettable Friday Fish Fry cuisine continues and this time from the comfort of our very own couch.
The weather was typical March terrible madness yesterday and so we decided to stay in. I had read a great article that gave props to the fish at Picasso's Pizza, not far from our abode so needless to say, they were on our must try Friday Fish Fry list. When I called to place our order I was pleasantly surprised to learn that they delivered and I was able to continue to enjoy my Cabin Fever honey bock from New Glarus on the comfort of my couch. I was told our order would be about 45 minutes and I'm pleased to say it arrived much earlier than that.
I ordered the battered walleye with fries and garlic bread. My fiancee ordered the battered perch with baked potato. When I opened the perch I was quite surprised to find only three fairly small pieces. The menu says a half-pound of perch and I'm not sure where the rest went but our order seemed rather skinny. I placed both orders in the toaster oven for 5 minutes at 400 each to bring them back to life as they both looked a little cool and lifeless. After a little warm-up, they were fabulous!
The batter was just right. Often batters can be bland, this was very tasteful and the fish was fresh and succulent. The perch got rave reviews as well.
The fries were pretty forgettable and if I could change anything it would be better fries. The delivery was prompt, the food was delicious and I'm glad to say this will remain on our Friday Fish Fry list as I can't wait to try it again!
