Lent begins with Ash Wednesday, March 1st. This means a steady diet of fish.

Growing up a Catholic, we were trained to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday and on Fridays throughout the season of Lent - Ash Wednesday through Easter Sunday. An act of penance in remembrance of the Friday that Jesus Christ was crucified.

(NOTE: Some Archdioceses grant special dispensation, allowing parishioners to eat meat on St. Patrick's Day, if it falls on a Friday...as it does this year.)

Here are some of the area fish frys. If you know of one we missed, please e-mail us or comment on our Facebook post and we'll get it added!
