Why Dunn County Loves Friday Fish Fry

Friday fish fry fits naturally into Dunn County’s combination of university life, rural communities, family traditions, and locally owned restaurants.

For some people, Friday fish fry means meeting friends after work in Menomonie. For others, it’s a family dinner at the same local restaurant they’ve visited for years. Students and parents visiting UW-Stout can experience a distinctly Wisconsin tradition, while travelers exploring western Wisconsin can discover restaurants they might never encounter on a national dining website.

And every restaurant does things a little differently.

One might be known for its crispy cod. Another might have the potato pancakes everyone talks about. Somewhere else, it might be the perch, homemade coleslaw, Old Fashioneds, or simply the familiar faces around the dining room that keep people coming back.

That’s what makes exploring Wisconsin fish fry so much fun.

There isn’t one “correct” fish fry. There are hundreds of local interpretations of the same Wisconsin tradition, and Dunn County has plenty worth discovering.
