The Vets Club in Two Rivers (Wisconsin) is located on the east side of town, just across the street from Walsh Field, where the Polar Bears play baseball. (In keeping with Two Rivers' "Cool City" theme.)
The furnishings of the first floor dining room are strictly utilitarian, as are those of the basement dining room.
The Vets Club is renown for it lake perch, which I obviously didn't order during our most recent visit. I thought I'd try the haddock -- remembering those tasty, melt-in-your-mouth filets served piping hot at Mr. Elmer's Supper Club in Oshkosh. (My nomination for the best fish fry ever.) When the waitress set the plate in front of me --photo below taken after I'd eaten two pieces -- I experienced an unsettling sense of deja vu. These look just like the potato pancakes I was served at Rolling Meadows. Not good! Fortunately, these fish patties taste much better than they look.
No, it's not a urine sample; it's Bud Light. (Close enough!)
Bud and Brian join us while Eddie dreams of winning the bocce ball tournament at the Richard family reunion the following day.

Eddie loves to ponder things. Looks like a smelt this time. JoAnna and her mom appear very interested in the outcome .
Eddie must have made the right decision, though Grandma looks unsure.
Cindy describes in hilrious detail her March 2009 fishy-fish experience at the Vets Club. She ordered the blue gill. (Which begs the question: what does porky-pork taste like?) Sam and Jo listen attentively.
