Ah! The beginning of Lent. Fish Fry season here in my part of NY. I had just assumed it was the same all over,but communications on other boards tells me that it just doesn't happen in other parts of the States.
Every Friday, Fire Departments and other service organizations have fish fry's as fundraisers.
For between 10 and 14 dollars you get a filet of Haddock, fries, Cole Slaw, and a roll.
Love fried Haddock, but do not fry at home. These fundraisers satisfy my jonesing for fish and help out some also.
Any one else?

Fish Fry season in my neck of the woods too. Just about every place has them through Lent. The Moose Lodge, VFW, some bars and restaurants too.
Also the Paczki fruit filled doughnuts, found all over the place. Those are so rich and delicious!

I remember fish fries when I was younger and lived in the states, and I was raised catholic.
Scottish husband says they never had that in Scotland. But they did eat fish every Friday as catholics.

This Wednesday is Ash Wednesday so it will be fish from a fish fry for myself and family. NKat I haven't been catholic for decades, but husband is. The Ash Wednesday service is not at the English speaking church, only at the Thai church. Masses are all in Thai there. We are debating whether to go since it's at 6pm and we prefer not to drive here in the dark.
Tuesday is pancake Tuesday.

I am of the Episcopal faith and I do observe Lent. I like the special at Popeye's of the shrimp tackle box on Fridays. Its more than I can eat so I get it at lunch and finish up for dinner.
