DJ's Shortstop - Milton (Charley Bluff) - Friday Night Fish Fry
This entry was posted on 5/2/2008 6:20 PM and is filed under Friday Night Fish Fry.
An old bartender of mine is pursuing his own bar with a partner out Charley Bluff way. The new name of the place that has been a bar for a long time is DJ's Shortstop. In the spirit of the World Wide Web audience, Charley Bluff is an area not far from Milton, Wisconsin in a neighborhood on Lake Koshkonong.
The first thing I thought as the fish dinner was put before me as I sat right up at the bar was, "thoughtful." The presentation was thoughtful. There will be a heap of crispy on the outside, tender on the inside Cod on your plate. They offer potato pancakes, of which I know are a pain in the behind to make. Them cakes are good, way beyond hash browns. They will of course come with apple sauce or sour cream. The cole slaw begs of homemade.
I was running solo last Friday night so Heide was not along - we got to get her out there - she grew up in lake country. With tip and dinner I got out of there for under 10 Bucks.
Give DJ's a try - they are cool with Cool Dadio - I am betting you will not be disappointed. You will find them at 11601 North Lake Street out on Charley Bluff off Lake Koshkonong. Call (608) 868-5855 for more information.
