For a sandwich worthy of the Pure Michigan seal of approval, look no further than the Great Lakes Perch Sandwich at The Old Goat in Grand Rapids. The execution of the sandwich is simple: load up a soft, buttery Nantucket challah roll with 1/2 lb. of perfectly fried perch, then add tartar sauce and greens. That’s all it takes to create a killer sandwich that we devoured in no time.

The Old Goat is wise to let the perch take center stage and delight the taste buds of their patrons with fresh, flavorful fish. The bread was so incredibly delicious, we wish we can have all of our future sandwiches made on it. We appreciate the honest, humble approach to the Great Lakes Perch Sandwich. After all, why ruin a good thing with superfluous ingredients?

The vibrant atmosphere of The Old Goat added to the experience, ensuring that we’ll be back to try more of their sandwich creations.
