HOOK, LINE AND SINKER. At High Rock Cafe we have caught something BIG for you!
We know your mouths have been watering at the idea of this announcement and we are pleased to announce the 4th Annual Carnivorous Tour, an “Off the Hook” edition!
High Rock Cafe’s 4th Annual Carnivorous Tour will be underway come Wednesday, January 3rd, 2018, a time where we explore the oceanic world of fish, giving customers what they asked for with three different preparations of the fish each week over an 8-week period. The High Rock has a desire to educate our customers and expand their palette to different types of fish and seafood and flavors with which they might not be familiar. The High Rock kitchen staff is excited to explore the many different way to prepare these dishes where we will blacken, poach, ceviche, sauté, serve raw, you name it, in serving up some of the most creative dishes offered nowhere else in the Dells!
Having already covered beef, pork, and poultry, our newest focus is surprisingly not fresh water fish that many Wisconsinites may be familiar with, but instead ocean saltwater fishes. Fish is known to be loaded with essential nutrients, such as protein and Vitamin D that are important for proper brain functionality. It’s also known to contain omega-3 fatty acids which are crucial fighting against depression literally raising your mood with each bite. Because we care about the body and brains of our customers we are excited to offer these oceanic fish for the overall health and palate satisfaction of everyone!
Sustainable seafood is seafood that is either caught or farmed in ways that consider the long-term vitality of harvested species and the well being of the oceans, as well as the livelihoods of fish-dependent communities. When it comes to sustainability of the featured fish, think of a stop and go light. On our special menus we will provide graphics of each of the featured fish, where it is farmed, and the sustainability level to suffice curiosity about what you’ll be eating as well as to educate you before you stop in. Red signifies that the specific breed of fish in terms of sustainability have a depleting population. Yellow serves as a medium sustainability rate while green is encouragement enough to feast readily and often on that type of seafood. Sustainability is important to us at High Rock and how it affects the market.
Our fish choices over the next 8 weeks are: Grouper, Snapper, Swordfish, Shrimp, Salmon, Mahi-Mahi, Lobster, and Tuna.
A punch card will be available to all those who choose to take part in this culinary adventure and prizes will be awarded for continued participation. Every Wednesday the menu will change, so don’t forget to pick up your punch card and check out our website for the upcoming menu!

WE WELCOME YOU TO THE 3rd Annual CARNIVOROUS TOUR! The year of the bird!
The Carnivorous tour is back and starting January 4th at the High Rock Café: a tour of poultry exploring eight different birds, over a eight week period. With the success of last year’s tour featuring pork and the year prior of beef, Chef Justin Draper is excited for the year of the bird!
For the next eight weeks the High Rock kitchen will focus one specific bird and create three unique dishes each week. The goal of this endeavor is to inform the clientele about the wide variety of flavors and different types of poultry that are available to them. “I am excited to highlight the different flavor profiles that each bird has and it’s great that we can give our customers something new each week.”
As a way to make this epicurean adventure fun, the High Rock will be offering prizes to those who attend the Carnivorous tour. A punch card will be available that briefly outlines the beginning and ending of each week and the cut of meat highlighted with three sets of prizes for making it to either 3,6 or all 8 weeks. NEW MENUS WILL BE RELEASED EVERY WEDNESDAY MORNING FOR THE NEXT 8 WEEKS! See our menu here.
The Carnivorous Tour starts January 4th. The regular lunch and dinner menu will still be available but the Season’s Freshest Menu will be taken over with Carnivorous Tour fare. A tour in poultry might seem to favor only one type of clientele but in classic High Rock style the three creations will appeal to all foodies. The pricing as well, is meant to reach to all customers, it’s quite possible to attend all nine weeks for around $100. So if you or anyone you know enjoys cooking or creative cuisine, head over to High Rock this winter, we look forward to taking you on this delicious journey that is sure to delight any carnivore.
