    We enjoyed a great fish fry at North Lake Bear Trap tonight! We tried the cod - 2 large pieces of fish with rye bread, coleslaw, tarter sauce, and chips (with upgrade choices of potato, onion rings, etc). The cod is nicely seasoned with a light beer batter. Both the sour cream and chive wedges and the crinkle fries were fried perfectly. The tarter sauce was great for dipping with bright green pickle pieces throughout. The meal was overall delicious and reasonably priced. We enjoyed our meal with a few beers and let the atmosphere transport us to a cozy "up north" state of mind. We will be back to try more of the menu!

    We enjoyed a fabulous Friday Night Fish Fry with Cod and Blue Gill that was truly Outstanding! Excellent BoFs! Service was with a smile. While it was a little loud in a small space, everything else was perfect. Reservations were a breeze. We will be returning again and again!
