After Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) comes Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent. Back in the world (specifically in the greater Cincinnati area) Catholic Churches have fish fries on Fridays throughout Lent, largely as a fundraiser. I see that there is a Church in Belleview that has a fish fry every Friday. Are there other churches that do this?
Yes, I did Google it and only found restaurants.

I was going to say O'Shucks, but I guess that is technically not a church.

For us it’s not so much about the fish as it is about supporting the community. And the homemade desserts!

I'd like to rephrase this - anyone know of a friday fish fry without catfish, cod, or frozen battered fish?

(without going to Wisconsin)

For me, every day can be fish fry day!!

We went to St Paul National Catholic Church (not Roman Catholic) in Belleview last year. I can’t tell if St Teresa still does them. I’ll give them a call.

My three favorites are Cody’s Brownwood, Havana CC, and O Shucks.

Since perch has been the mainstay in Wisconsin EVERY FRIDAY for fish fries (a great custom we thoroughly enjoyed) ....you will not find it here....need to go back to Wisconsin.

Indeed !

Every Friday we enjoyed our fish-fry at this little Mom-N-Pop restaurant off the main Hwy in Northern Wisconsin.
We enjoyed beer battered perch or walleye, hot German potato salad, real homemade molasses baked beans, pineapple coleslaw, and a fresh Cranberry pecan muffin right outta the oven !
Are you ready...$11.00 a plate !!!
Unheard of down here !

We certainly do miss that Wisconsin tradition. ...

Do the American Legion or Elks or other groups have fish on Fridays?

Missed tilapia. Do like cod as long as it cut thick.

We enjoyed the fish fry at St Paul's in Leesburg yesterday. $10 for baked or fried fish, mac & cheese, coleslaw, drink, vanilla ice cream. Proceeds to the youth group for mission trips. The kids take the orders, deliver the food to your table.
