Comment: When we took our game to Belleville this Friday I was expecting a great Fish Fry, but I certainly didn’t expect to see what was going on in Milwaukee simultaneously... The Miz was on the mound and he was dealing.
We stepped into the batter’s box at Borland’s around 7pm, just a skosh after the opening pitch. The fabled bar was reasonably busy but these waitresses are aces and they handled the crowd with ease. I had my $11.50 3-pice fish before you could say “batter up,” and while it may have looked mundane to the untrained eye, I knew better.
The fish took the leadoff spot and this cod is simply classic. It’s pure and flaky and home to an immaculate breading that clings firmly yet crumbles effortlessly. It’s 100% grease-free and has just enough seasoning to dot the corner without overshadowing the meat. A tangy take-all-you-please tartar offers plenty of run support for the starter and always brings its A-game. It’s a serious 1-2 punch.
While most everything else at the Big B is pretty standard, they all play an important part in the team dynamic. The fries are basic Julienne-cuts that offer a little relief between bites of fish, the split of French bread is a roll player if ever there was one, and the potent homemade slaw provides a little pop in the heart of the order.
Greatness comes in many forms, sometimes it’s on a plate, and other times it’s at home plate. This Friday we got to see part of what some are calling The Greatest Game Ever Pitched while we got to enjoy what others consider the greatest fish ever fried. For a mere $11.50 it’s a steal if nothing else. Overall, we highly recommend this Fish Fry and think it’s a shoo-in first ballot HOFer.119 W. Main Street
