Saint Theresa's Catholic Church - Eagle - Friday Night Fish Fry ( Fri / 9 Sept / 2011 )
This entry was posted on 9/30/2011 1:30 AM and is filed under Church Dinners, Special and Seasonal Eats, Friday Night Fish Fry.
Let the fall church dinners begin. They are often called "Harvest Dinners," or "Beef Dinners," or "Turkey Dinners." But for our purposes here, there is another fall church activity that hits the Dadio radar screen - the monthly fish fry.
Our fall fish fry travels this fall of 2011 with a journey over to the small berg of Eagle, Wisconsin. It sits in the Kettle Moraine and glaciated region just south west of Milwaukee. For us, a jaunt cross country through Whitewater and Palmyra had us there in no time. Saint Theresa's Catholic Church sits on the edge of the aforementioned small town of Eagle, on Highway 59.
As these events go, we found ourselves in their reception hall seated in a family style set up. The meal started out with marble bread. Of course cole slaw came with the deal, in this case it was slightly creamy. Three big hunks of fried Cod were my choice, with a side of fries. My Cod seemed to be sprinkled with a bit of parsley. Heide went for the baked Cod and took the baked potato option. The tatar sauce was extremely creamy and tasty.
I got a good cup of leaded coffee and to Heide's pleasure they had Sprecher's Root Beer. We topped off the meal with a homemade raspberry dessert with a cookie and oatmeal base.
Saint Theresa's Catholic Church monthly fish fry is cool with Cool Dadio. They have their fish frys on the second Friday of the month September thru May. They skip October fish in lieu of a fall turkey dinner - this year on Sunday, October 16.
