Comment: It’s been a tough week, but this walleye from Morgan’s Bar & Grill is definitely helping calm my nerves.
I’ve seen a lot of beer battered walleye recently, and while it can be ok that way, freshwater fish like walleye are generally best how Morgan’s does them. This real deal fillet is lightly-breaded which lets the flavor of the fish come through, but also lets the meat flake apart effortlessly making it much easier to handle. It was essentially flawless and capped off perfectly when paired with the thick and zippy tartar.
For lunch, the side options skew fryer-friendly and the battered fries are as chummy as they come. They were heavily salted but also seemed to have a hint of something more. Maybe it was just the batter, but whatever the seasoning was it provided a subtle tickle to the tastebuds.
A couple lightly grilled marble rye halves cozied up to the walleye fillet and made for a pretty presentation but even better eating. The slaw was also scrumptious, and really well balanced - I could taste the sugar in it but it didn’t overpower the mix. It was a really nice rendition and when coupled with the rye and fries makes for some of the best sides I’ve seen recently.
Morgan’s is an unassuming little bar at a county crossroads, but don’t let that fool ya - they are putting out one of the best Fish Frys Madison’s west side has to offer right now. Overall, we highly recommend this one, and are excited to see if they can maintain the momentum.8640 W Mineral Point Road
