This was my first visit to Husker Bar II and I was not disappointed. The fish fritter was excellent, with the option of cod, carp, or walleye. I chose the walleye and it was moist, flavorful, and definitely worth the extra few dollars. I'm not sure what the secret ingredient in the macaroni salad is, but it was delicious. Other family members ordered the carp and were also pleased with the size and taste.
