Going to a fish fry wasn't exactly on my agenda one Friday, but I had heard the fried cod was well worth it. Going into the Eagles Lodge, located at 225 Highway 1, I had certain negative expectations. For some reason the term "fish fry" had a negative connotation for me. The event seemed like a place where people of only a lower stature would go or like it could be a scene off of Drop Dead Gorgeous. However, my expectations were put to the test when I started eating delicious, fried goodies.
The fish fry at Eagles Lodge has taken place from 5-8pm every Friday since February 8th and will run until March 21st, running the entire Lent season. Though it might be a costly $10, it is all-you-can-eat and the food is like a gormet banquet dinner. With the long, plastic tables and all, the atmosphere is extremely casual. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages are offered, along with service that is very kind.
The dinner includes fried cod, six-piece shrimp, fried potato wedges, coleslaw, mac 'n cheese, and plenty of chocolate. The fish and potatoes were lightly fried and lightly seasoned, creating just enough flavor. Though the mac 'n cheese didn't last too well as a soft food, the rest of the food was very tasty. And when I was told that the potatoes were out, there were fresh wedges before I could even finish my plate.
The atmosphere of the fish fry at Eagles Lodge wasn't necessarily where most students went for a Friday night, but I recommend trying it out. There is plenty of tasty food for multiple plates, there is a bar for your pleasure, and even though it's all-you-can-eat, the food is prepared just for you and they'll be sure to ask how the food tasted.
