Joe Tess' Place

"The carp is slit before frying, and the result is a crunchy piece of fried fish. You'll have to pay attention while you eat, though. The fried potato discs are particularly good, too."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle






"Carp too scary? There's a full menu of alternatives, like this grilled salmon."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle



"Any restaurant that serves upside-down cake gets bonus points from us."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle



"You can usually trust a catfish wearing a dinner jacket."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle



"In the market next door, you can observe your meal swimming in a tank. We don't know our live fish very well, but we think these are catfish, not carp."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle



"Joe Tess' delivery truck was parked out front. They supply fish to other area restaurants, too. Home of the famous fish sandwich - that's no lie."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle



"The planter out front is topped off with oyster shells. Probably not a common sight in Nebraska."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle
