No discussion about what constitutes a lake trout, OK? Nobody who eats it cares. It’s fish. Bread it, fry it up, and knock it down. At the seriously no-frills Roost carry-out, a full order of their killer lake trout consists of a veritable school of the little bastards, tails intact, with a couple of pieces of bread. A large industrial-sized dispenser of hot sauce is available at the counter, to combat fish fatigue. The full order ($4.75) costs only 50¢ more than the fractional order, so don’t even think about it, lightweight. But unless you’re into a seriously trencherman-type lifestyle, you can’t finish it all and expect to get into the side-order action, say, some nice greens or candied sweets, or one of their tasty dessert items, maybe some peach cobbler. So take the rest of your catch home. It’s a deal and a half, no doubt. The Roost rules.
