Friday fish fry

Updated: Feb 25, 2020

The Lenten meal that brings the community together.

“A meal we share with our neighbors.

Friday Fish Fry season is upon us, and it's a great thing to be a part of. At a local pub, Legion club, or Catholic Church, we gather to share a meal. We stand in long lines, anxiously wonder if we'll have a place to sit, load up our plates and eventually share a table with new friends. After rushing through the meal, the kids (who may or may not have actually tried the fish) run wild as their parents sit back and visit, catching up on neighborhood gossip and trying to remember how they know that one guy at the table across the way, the one wearing the Paul Bunyan t-shirt.


Do you have a favorite local spot to get your Friday Fish Fry fix on? Here are a few nearby recommendations:
