The perfect bite starts with a dip.
Our tartar sauce has that delicious tang that pairs so well with the light, slightly sweet flavor of Lake Perch and the fried fish's crispy, salty exterior.
But, truth be told, sometimes we also dip the fish in the special's scratch-made, creamy coleslaw. Because... 😋
Our Lake Perch Fish Plate is available fried or broiled and also comes with a helping of golden french fries.
