I definitely don’t want to be misunderstood, I’m not catholic either, it’s just a thing in our neck of the woods. The VFW, the Lions Club, the Kiwanis Club,etc. they all have the fish fry on Fridays during lent. Probably started as a Catholic thing but not so much anymore, it has been commercialized just like Christmas
I too don't get caught up with religious denominations. When it comes to fish frying I grew up in the deep south where there were what was called Fish Camps all along the rivers. These were actually just restaurants that specialized in fish dinning, using mostly locally caught fish with some ocean fish shipped in as fresh as possible. I don't know if these type restaurants are around anymore or not. I also remember how fantastic their
hush-puppies were.
