Fitzgeralds Fish Boil Dinner

Enjoy all-you-can-eat North Atlantic Cod boiled in traditional outdoor kettles year-round for that one-of-a kind mouthwatering taste that has made them legendary AND BBQ chicken with a legendary secret whiskey-based sauce. Also includes award-winning coleslaw and fresh rye bread, sweet red potatoes and onions which are boiled in the pots with the fish. For dessert a frosted apple square nicely rounds out the meal.

Unlike other fish boils that use trout or whitefish, the cod they serve is completely free of skin and bones. With one bite of this fish they guarantee to transform you instantly into a raving fan. Served with drawn butter, the sweet taste of the boiled cod is very close to that of lobster.

Transportation, soda, coffee, tea, and TIP is also included. (Alcoholic Beverages must be purchased on a separate tab)
