It was a cold and snowy night, what better to do than go for a delicious fish fry. I like it when the roads are slick and the weather is bad so we can go to a great dinner on Friday night and don't have the long wait at a popular establishment.
Our friends arrived first and we were a little delayed because the roads were pretty bad. They arrived at 6:15 and our table was ready by 6:45, but we didn't arrive until 7:00pm. So when we arrived, our friends had to pass on the initial sating and wait for us. We ordered some brandy old fashioneds and chatted at the bar until our waitress came to take our order.
The Black Otter is a classic supper club, so our order was taken at the bar and we were called to our table when our food was almost ready so we could enjoy the soup and salad bar. We all ordered specials so the soup and salad bar was included. Otherwise the salad bar al a carte is $8.95. But I have to say this is an impressive salad bar with many options and can be a meal unto itself, so it would be worth the price.
Black Otter offers a variety of seafood options, and they are especially known for their prime rib. My friend got the queen cut prime rib, it was 32 oz of delicious goodness. It was cooked medium rare and they got it right, he also got some sauteed mushrooms on the side.
Black Otter also has the 160oz prime rib challenge. If you can eat a full 160oz of prime rib, you get a t-shirt, your picture on their wall, and a gift certificate for a future visit. 160oz is crazy big, but there are a good number of people pictured on their wall who did it.
I got the lake perch, and one of our friends got the bluegill. The fish fry is on the pricey side at $16.95. The lake perch was cooked nicely and tasted really good, but I found the breaded to be a bit thick. For my potato, I got the potato puffs, they were ok, probably not something I would try again. One of my friends got the seasoned skins, which are listed as upon availability. They were absolutely delicious and my new favorite potato! I was disappointed that the meal was not served with any rye bread, and I even asked for some but none was available.
Black Otter usually has at least an hour wait, but it's worth a trip to Hortonville to try their food. They may not be a Classic Wisconsin Fish Fry, but they are a classic supper club, and they know how to make and present delicious food. You must go!
