Why Adams County Loves Friday Fish Fry

Friday fish fry fits naturally into Adams County’s combination of lake life, small towns, vacation communities, outdoor recreation, and locally owned restaurants.

Residents gather with family and friends at the end of the week. Cabin owners arrive for the weekend. Anglers come off the water. Campers decide they’ve cooked enough over the fire. Travelers explore beyond Wisconsin Dells looking for somewhere local.

That’s where Friday fish fry comes in.

Every restaurant puts its own spin on the Wisconsin tradition. One may be known for crispy beer-battered cod. Another might have loyal perch or walleye fans. Somewhere else, the potato pancakes, homemade coleslaw, rye bread, soup, or supper-club atmosphere may be what keeps people coming back.
