My dad loved eating fish. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, couldn’t get enough.\u00a0I brought him over to visit when I was working in Hong Kong and he was in seafood heaven. Geez, I craved a burger during that trip.<\/p>\n

He wasn’t much of a sportsman himself, but his colleagues and employees made sure he was kept well supplied, dropping off quantities of trout, sunfish, crappies, pike, and bluegills when they had good days.<\/p>\n

Don’t think it’s genetic, but I’m a fish eater too, not anywhere compared to him. And here in the upper midwest, you’re likely to run into one restaurant or 200 that features a “fish fry” every Friday nite, offering you a choice of cod, walleye, perch, or shrimp, often on an AYCE basis.<\/p>\n

I was surprised and delighted to run into a place called “Blue Gilly’s”\u00a0in rural Wisconsin yesterday, a breakfast\/lunch restaurant that\u00a0prominently features bluegills on the menu.<\/p>\n

I can’t imagine where they source them, I’d been under the impression\u00a0for several years that “panfish” – the group of freshwater swimmers\u00a0that bluegills fall into, were incapable of being farmed. So if they’re\u00a0wild, they are most likely coming from pristine lakes in Northern\u00a0Canada or Alaska.<\/p>\n

So I had bluegills and eggs for breakfast. The fish is fried with a very, very light breading, and I’m no expert, but I’m gonna guess that they use rice flour for the breading. It has its own unique texture and taste, and of course, is gluten-free.<\/p>\n

The fish was delightful, and the standard serving (1\/2 pound) was\u00a0more than I could finish at a serving.<\/p>\n

The restaurant is open seven days from 6:30 – 2:00 PM, and features a full breakfast and lunch menu. Lots of pancakes on hand, as well.<\/p>\n

It’s much bigger inside than it appears outside, so even if the parking lot would make you think its really crowded, there are probably tables\u00a0available.<\/p>\n

If you’re traveling I-90 thru Wisconsin, the restaurant is just off\u00a0exit 163, about an hour north of the Illinois border. Worth a stop.<\/p>\n
