Off to Fry Fish

One thing that makes Wisconsin great:

Fish fries are very common in the Midwestern and Northeastern regions of the United States. This is especially true for predominantly Roman Catholic communities on Fridays during Lent, when regulations calling for abstaining from most meat products are in effect. In Wisconsin, a fish fry is offered at almost all non-chain restaurants, taverns that serve food and some chain restaurants on Friday nights throughout the entire year. Going out for a Friday night fish fry is a popular year round tradition in Wisconsin, where it is common among people of any religious background. A typical Wisconsin fish fry consists of beer batter fried cod, perch, walleye, or in areas along the Mississippi River, catfish. A typical fish fry usually comes with tarter sauce, french fries, coleslaw, and bread; though baked beans are not uncommon.

It made me laugh that Wendy's featured Friday Night Fish Fry on their sign in some town in Wisconsin.  I also thought it was interesting that many places there featured more than one type of fish.  Here it's typically just one type, generally pollock.
