The Chippewa Valley has a great culinary landscape, and a local “must” is the classic fish fry. The rustic charm of 4 Mile Restaurant & Bar (S5786 Highway 37, Eau Claire) is celebrated for its iconic Friday fish fry, featuring crispy battered fish, golden fries, and all the traditional fixings that keep patrons coming back week after week. The comfortable ambiance of Court’N House Bar & Grill has welcomed folks to downtown Eau Claire for decades, offering a delicious fish fry experience in an inviting atmosphere where diners can enjoy fresh fish and homemade sides with friends and family. Overlooking the tranquil waters of Lake Wissota, The SandBar & Grill (17643 50th Ave., Lake Wissota) is beloved for its great views and delectable fish fry, drawing crowds of locals and visitors alike to indulge in its grub and hang out. Every bite at these local fish fry eateries is a testament to our love for good food and great company. —Nicole Lincoln
