The guys at Hoban Brothers told us this place had a really good fish fry on Friday nights. So we drove to the sticks to try out this bar/restaurant. The building itself is a bit organic. It's old school wood inside.
The bar was packed but there were three long tables. We sat at the end of one of those tables wondering what the protocol was . Within two minutes a very friendly (and cute) waitress approached us; and asked us what we wanted to drink. They have several good beers on tap. My wife ordered an Oktoberfest and I ordered a Spotted Cow. In minutes our waitress placed two beers in front of my wife. I was reaching for one when two beers were placed in front of me. Our waitress informed us that it was "double bubble" time. Two beers for the price of one.
We perused the menu. Even though there were some great appetizers, we passed and decided to try their perch dinner. They also have bluegills, walleyes, haddock and catfish. The time slipped by as we sipped our beers. Out came our dinners. Wow, a very filled plate of food. The fish was excellent, as were the fries, cole slaw and rye bread.
Even though the place was busy our waitress checked on us on regular occasions. Our meals were so good we were literally purring with pleasure. Note to my friends, if you're going to have an appetizer you better be hungry as we barely had enough room to finish our suppers
At the end I shook our waitress' hand and told her she was a great waitress. Tipped her well.
Bottom line, this is a great place to get a fish dinner on a Friday night. The food was great, the service was great, the ambiance is biker bar. It was a bit raucous.
If you want the Wisconsin experience of the Friday night fish fry, it would behoove you to check this place out.
Top three of Friday fish in the Manitowoc area in my humble opinion.

Always a great place to ride to on the bike! Always seems like there's something going in there in the summer! Great bar with great food, right next to a famous bike shop (Hoban Brothers Cycle Shop)

Great

Awesome catering: outstanding lasagna, honey lime fruit salad, Italian vegie salad, best price for catering. Beautifully displayed. Delicious food at the bar (Moose special of hamburger with the works between two cheese sandwiches). Heat and eat daily specials (need more of the lasagna and can't wait to try the mac and cheese). Can't say enough about this place.

An annual tradition that leaves me SMILING: 1-hour lovely Fall Road Trip, to see a favorite band The Stringbenders. A great place to meet the familiar crowd - great bartenders, great small-town local appeal. If passing through, a nice stop for a bite to eat.
