The weather is a little warmer; the days are a little longer.

And the fish is about to fry!

Lent begins Wednesday, March 5, and Friday, March 7, should be considered a holiday of its own — First Fish-Fry Friday!

So many places offer fried fish on Fridays that it would be impossible to list them all, but we do our best. Most run specials every Friday until Easter, which is April 20 this year, but some only offer fish on certain dates, so be sure to read carefully.

That being said, here’s our annual list of restaurants and organizations who abide by the Midwestern Friday ritual. Don’t see your fish fry on the list? Email the info — restaurant or organization, location, date(s), what’s served with the fish, cost and how folks can contact you — to eat@pioneerpress.com and we’ll add you.
