Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, a time of religious reflection and sacrifice as we prepare for Easter Sunday. However one of the ironies of Lent is that while we sacrifice by not eating meat certain days, we have a fish fry, which to me is not really a sacrifice!! A priest at a parish I belonged to years ago once commented that it would be more of a sacrifice to eat a bologna sandwich than to eat lobster on Friday in Lent…..hmmm something to think about.
Anyhow, below are a few upcoming fish frys that you might want to enjoy. Many churches will be having fish fries in the coming weeks, so watch for signs out in front of churches of all faiths as you drive around. For restaurants that offer fish fries, check out www.buffalofishfry.com
