Fritz European Fry House
Region: Central Kitsap
City: Bremerton
Fritz European Fry House is one of my favorite places to eat, period. It is deep-fried pub food and it is excellent. The draft and bottled beers make it that much better.
(I make it a point to eat at Fritz on visits to Bremerton, if at all possible.)

The fish & chips basket is my preferred meal. It entails three pieces of deep-fried cod and a generous serving of Belgian fries.
The Child prefers the chicken basket. It comes with three large pieces of deep-fried chicken and the same generous amount of fries.
Each individual cone of Belgian fries comes with your choice of one dipping sauce. Each basket comes with your choice of two dipping sauces.

Recommended sauces:
*Sweet Chili. Sweet and spicy, involves a wee bit of heat but it's not overpowering.
*Spicy Curry Ketchup. Exactly as the name states, and easily my favorite.
*Honey Dijon Mustard. Lightly sweet and spicy, allowing both the honey and mustard flavors to shine through.

Four tap handles are in constant rotation. One tap is usually reserved for home brewed beers of owner Andy or an offering from sister brewpub Der Blokken (of Manette in West Bremerton). The other taps are craft brews, primarily from the Northwest or with a Belgian-style flair.

Der Blokken Red
a Red Ale by Der Blokken Brewery
On tap, served in a Stella Artois chalice.
Der Blokken Red arrives with a rich red body and virtually no head.
The nose is light and floral. The flavors are flower petals and broth, with a bit of a raisin and fruit edge that lingers for some time. There is even a hint of apple lurking somewhere in the background.
As it warms, an airy sweetness becomes more apparent on the nose and tongue, as though being out-of-doors right before a warm rain. Every once in a while, a hint of paper or copper penny sneaks in, but only for a brief moment.
All in all, this Red is understated and good. It plays well with the fries.
