Fish fries in Wisconsin were a great experience, and each restaurant had something different. For example, Honey Bear had a real live bear and great coleslaw. Ma's favorite place for Fish Fry was Hiawatha Supper Club, because their difference was potato pancakes instead of fries. Their potato pancakes were fantastic, a little bigger than silver dollar size, had onion inside, and were served with syrup. Oh, the goodness!
