Lakefront Brewery’s first claim to fame earned it the No. 1 spot for Local Micro-brewery. Its second
is the Friday fry, which also takes top honors with a couple of fish varieties, including cod wrapped in Eastside Dark beer batter.
Also on the leader board are Nos. 2 and 3, St. Paul Fish Company (400 N. Water St.), which does a $12.95 lake perch fry on Fridays, and American Serb Memorial Hall (5101 W. Oklahoma Ave.) has been doing its shtick of cod, shrimp and ocean perch for over 50 years, with a convenient drive-through window, too.
