Cod. Haddock. Walleye. Perch. Bluegill. It's Friday fish fry season, and this year's version is going to feel a bit different, due to limitations created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Fewer restaurants are offering all-you-can-eat options, and while many fish fry setups can be enjoyed in restaurant dining rooms, others are operating on a takeout-only basis.
The Anchor Fish & Chips
During Lent, this cult favorite — which is highly skilled in the deep-fryer arts — leaves the fish-and-chips heavy lifting to its food truck, with beer-battered wild Alaskan cod and hand-cut chips ($13.50) available in the parking lot on Friday nights. Takeout only.
