2. Wally's Wisconsin Tavern (1417 Market St., Denver, CO 80202)
Wally's Wisconsin Tavern is known and loved for their Friday Fish Fry which takes place every Friday from 3-9 p.m. For $13.50 per person, diners can indulge on a 6 oz. Walleye, cranberry slaw, a slice of rye bread, house tarter sauce and your choice of fries or tots.
3. The Fainting Goat (846 Broadway, Denver, CO 80203)
This cozy Irish pub's popular rooftop patio is often what attracts people in, but their Guiness battered fish served on top of a bed of chips or tater tots is what keeps diners coming back for more. Their portions are huge, so we recommend ordering a half portion so you can save room for a pint of Guinness to wash down your mouth watering meal.
For a taste of tradition, dip your lightly battered, deep-fried Alaskan Cod into Bull & Bush's house-made spicy tarter sauce. Follow your meal up with one of their many beers on tap from their brewery or a glass of house-made root beer and you will walk away a very satisfied (and very full) customer!
