Hand-battered walleye, any night of the week
The Friday fish fry is Wisconsin's weekly ritual, and at Emmi's we didn't see a reason to make you wait for Friday. Our Fish & Chips ($24.95) is hand-battered walleye with fries, our homemade tartar sauce, and a wedge of lemon, on the lunch and dinner menu Wednesday through Sunday, with the lake right outside the window.
Three ways to have the walleye
- Fish & Chips, $24.95: the classic fish fry plate.
- Fish Sandwich, $19.50: Hand-breaded fresh walleye, homemade tartar sauce, shaved cabbage, and house pickles on a toasted sesame bun. Friday night fish-fry tradition, on a bun
- Walleye Meunière, $32.95: Pan-seared walleye over seared spinach, finished with brown butter caper sauce, golden croutons, and lots of lemon. Wisconsin's fish, prepared the way it deserves
Do it the supper club way
Start the table with Fried Cheese Curds ($16.95), hand-battered Wisconsin white cheddar with our house buttermilk ranch. Order a Wisconsin Old Fashioned ($14): Korbel brandy, muddled orange and cherry, and your choice of sweet, sour, or press. Or keep it simple with a Spotted Cow on draft. And save room for a Grasshopper ($13.50), the ice cream drink that ends a proper Wisconsin supper.
