THE LAKELY’S FRIDAY NIGHT FISH FRY

Wisconsin tradition meets chef-driven flavor. Our Fish Fry is a cut above, featuring two pieces of crispy fried or perfectly pan-seared cod. The secret? Chef Jeremy’s special beer batter, made with a bold mix of Guinness and Spotted Cow, creating a deep yet bright flavor with an irresistible golden crunch. Served with our house-made tartar sauce (it’s a secret recipe for a reason), signature coleslaw, lemon, and your choice of fries or a fresh side salad with scratch-made dressing. Dine in or take it to-go. Every Friday, while supplies last.

MEET OUR CHEF & RESTAURANT MANAGER, JEREMY

With the heart of an artist, and the mind of a chef, Jeremy’s creative journey began in the fine arts, but it was the culinary world that offered both inspiration and stability. After landing a full-time kitchen role just two days into a summer internship—and training under a chef from the prestigious Kohler Country Club—he quickly climbed the ranks, becoming a chef just over a year out of culinary school.

In early 2025, Jeremy moved to Eau Claire, where he now leads The Lakely, bringing vision, flavor, and fresh energy to every plate. He’s introduced a bold new menu, reimagined the space, and built a team rooted in genuine hospitality—helping The Lakely reclaim its spot as a top downtown destination.

Off the clock, you’ll find Jeremy hanging out with his teacup border collie, Sally, tending to his plants, and nerding out with gaming and anime. And what does our chef eat when he’s at home? He keeps it simple with mac & cheese, instant ramen, and sushi at least three times a week.
